Hello everyone, really need some help. I recently bought a car that was flooded and began to work on it. I got the motor, transmission, starter, battery, BCM, ECU, and IPDM. there are two issue that I am having, the radiator cooling fan win not come on and the rear wheels are seized. The rear differential has been drained and cleaned and properly dried before filling again and they actually got it un seized but it has seized again. Does anyone know what could be causing these issues and can give me some insight on how to fix it???

 

Did they set the lash properly when they reassembled the rear end? Maybe it's locking up because the ring and pinion are too tight.

 

I'm not sure of what all they did when reassembling. I was thinking it could be the wheel bearings as well being that the car was a flood car

 

Rust and corrosion!

In addition to replacing or rebuilding parts, you may also need a wiring harness depending on how deep the flooding was.


If you are ever involved in an accident with a salvage vehicle you should check carefully with your insurance company and read the fine print as they may refuse to cover you. You could end up being sued for operating an unsafe vehicle that should only have been used for parts.


Good luck

Thanks for the info, I had the wiring harness replaced as well since the carpet was being replaced along with some other things. I will be checking to see if the rear wheel bearings need to be replaced this weekend ( wich I'm sure that may be the issue ) so thanks again
