Hello fellow enthusiasts. I’ve got an 86’ 740 GLE. I drove through a pretty sizeable puddle yesterday (it was 6am and I wasn’t thinking straight, thought I could conquer a couple inches of agua just fine) and about halfway through the puddle my dash lit up, lost power and she died (luckily after coasting through the rest of the puddle). She hasn’t started since then. I took off the distributor cap, dried it out, and still nothing. Not sure what else to check before sending it off to a garage, any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

 

check fuses then relays. After that you need to determine if you have both spark and fuel. Check volvotips.com for some triage tips
