I had the same problem getting water in my computer one time. The easiest way and safest to dry it out was to just put in in the oven, at low heat.98Mayhem said:Well i had an idea. When the engine was out i washed out the engine compartment. In doing so water got down into the main computer harness. I disconnected it and used a blow gun and some water came out. I drove it for awhile now and it seems to be fixed. I will let ya know.
Good to hear!!! A lot of people have had problems after washing engine/engine bay, mostly from getting water into the recessed plug holes.98Mayhem said:Well i had an idea.

Well, for one I'd take low heat over high pressure air that will potentially blow the electronic components of your ECU to pieces. And considering the amount of heat it would take to effectively degrade your electronics, you should be more concerned about the number one killer of electrical components and that’s a sopping wet computer. For the amount and the duration of hot and cold conditions these ECU’s go through in a lifetime, 20-min in the oven on it’s lowest setting won’t kill it. (Been there, done that…..nothing but positive results)! Air dry is fine, but the longer it stays wet and open to the elements, the greater chance there is of extensive corrosion.HIGDON said:And this is safer than compressesd air how??? Heat is one of the top killers of electronic parts. Even at low heat, I would never put my ECU in the OVEN.
