Flooded XC90
Hi.
My XC90 got stranded in a clear water river. The water depth was almost that of the tires and it was stuck for about 10 minutes. A lot of water came in i.e. the floors were alls flooded.
The car started normally once I had flushed out most of the water and disconnected/connected the batteries (SW reset?).
Two weeks later I guess most parts should be dry but still there are some things that are not working:
- Sat/Nav
- Audio system (no radio, CD, etc)
- Front passenger airbag
I will have the Volvo dealer "check" the car at first opportunity (like oils & electronics) but I would like to know if someone has some information and/or recommendations for me - whether there is maybe just some devices that simply need to dry out - like the Sat/Nav DVD under the drivers seat - or whether this needs to be done by certified Volvo technicians.
Regards,
Krusi

Additional info:
- Turned out that Audio Fuse in the back was out. Replaced it and now mobile Bluetooth connection works so the speakers are OK. No light on the Audio display when car is swithed on but it appears for a short while when the On/Off button is pressed. Menu also works.
- No other fuses seem to be out.
- When car is switched on the following message appears for about 10 seconds "SRS-AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT". Then the message "PASS AIRBAG OFF SERVICE URGENT" appears.
