A great Jeep friend of mine recently dunked his engine while crossing a small river (sandbar gave out on him). We were able to pull him to safety, but the water rose to the passenger door, probably tilted at 30 degree angle, and the engine mostly submerged. He took it to a shop and the engine isn't hydro locked. They were able to start it manually and it ran fine. All fluids were drained and replaced. However, now he's not able to start it with the key FOB or by pressing the ignition. He has power, the radio works, and the anti-theft red light shines. We think it may be related to the anti-theft controls.
I'm sure he's not the first one who has done this. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can look at next? He has a new PCM being delivered Thursday.
