My 2006 Mini CooperS has had water infiltration due to floodwaters beyond the door bottoms, resulting in around 2-3 inches of water accumulation inside the vehicle. The vehicle was not submerged in water, thus I am not worried about the condition of the engine. However, I am receiving many error messages indicating issues with the electrical system (a picture will be sent as evidence).
The engine is operational, with intermittent activation of the headlights and sidelights, but the wipers are not functioning.Indicators for changing direction. The electric mechanism for opening the boot is not functioning.
Upon shutting off the engine, the warning persists in sounding, necessitating the disconnection of the battery.
I have used a wet vacuum to extract the water, but, the carpets remain excessively saturated. Given the current outdoor temperature of 1 degree Celsius, the likelihood of facilitating the drying process is minimal.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Regrettably, the automobile has less monetary value, hence I am uncertain about contacting the insurance company.
