It’s also clean and enjoyable.
It’s likely that we have all seen videos showing people spraying water on the inside of their cars, apparently unaware of the fact that electricity and water don’t mix. You may have wondered if these clips were real or staged if you are like us. After soaking its electronics, would the car start? The Garage54 team asked the same questions and is back with another automotive stress test to find out the truth. The subject of this experiment is not a Lada but a 1997 Nissan with a few rusty parts. It still runs, and it appears to have some Lada parts underneath the hood.
We will skip the part where the car appears to have been held still by a passenger seat placed under the rear wheel. Instead, we’ll get to the good stuff. This attempt to kill a car using water is complete. It even includes the use of soap at medium pressure. Poor Nissan is stuffed with pink soap from the headliner to underside of the dash, and even the trunk. However, electronics are not as sensitive in that area.
The real test starts when everything has been properly cleaned up. The real test begins with a high-pressure rinse to remove all soap and grime. Given the vehicle’s age, it may also remove some fabric pieces. It’s obvious that water got into the dash and doors. This is especially evident when the camera moves up to the instrument cluster, which has water running down its face. Anyone who has ever disassembled an interior knows how many wiring lies behind it. And, of course, Nissan never intended for its passenger cars to withstand a monsoon without all their windows open. This would be simple in comparison.
Is the Nissan able to withstand its water trial? This is a fascinating and satisfying video, but we won’t spoil the fun. The car stereo will turn on when the ignition key is pressed, so at least there’s electricity. We are happy to conclude this article with a solid tip. This is something you should not do at home.
