Water Resistancy

[Bzinsky]

Man, that ride at Six Flags was always my favorite. Ours was called "Splashwater Falls" back in the day, and they had a bridge crossing over the splash zone that you could stand on before/after your ride - it was ~8ft wide and a grown man would get forced from the front to be up against the back railing when it hit. Just amazing.

Today the bridge is blocked off cause "safety".

Was at hershey park last week, they have a pretty crazy one too. I regretted going on it with clothing instantly.

Nope, I'm done, you win. Rain doesn't hurt the electronics of the JL at all. Ever. In the history of all JL's caught in the rain. Seems "reasonably accurate"

As an electronics tech I would assume you understand the difference between "act funny for a few days" and "bricked". Plenty of examples of the former all over the forum.

If you've ever taken apart the JL dash, you'll know it's no more sealed or protected against water than any other CJDR vehicle. My Challenger has a tighter and less element-intrusive dash.

That’s not were the water resistance comes in, it’s the connectors and individual electronics. Water tight dash would significantly increase production costs with tighter tolerances. It also isn’t very effective long term because of chassis flex.

It’s almost certainly done with the individual components and harness connectors.

They don’t look special to me, but I just garden hosed the living shit out of dozens of connectors and no issues at all.

I was caught in a torrential downpour last Tuesday on Martha's Vineyard, soft top in Safari mode. Lotta the roads were flooded, a few to at least a couple of feet in the lowest lying areas. Hit multiple puddles causing that log flume ride style massive spray up over the roof. Everything seemed to be fine, no leeks through the roof into the front seats, though afterward there was ~2 inches of standing water on the floorboards.

Pulled the drain plugs later and emptied it out, but the carpets are still soaked 3 days later. Now they are out drying in my yard.
