Yesterday i was high pressure washing my engine with the disturber covered as well as the intake after the wash down the car wont start. im pretty sure the alternator went but was just wonder car water mess up the alternator ? the alternator is not even 6 months old yet ? Or do you guys think its something else because i didn't cover any other important parts.
P.S Its not the battery checked that already ?

Dry the engine and ancillaries thoroughly, including all connections.

Once everything is dry try to turn it over, if it still doesn't start check for blown fuses as the water may have shorted a connection.

Always clean your engine with water when the engine is warm, and leave it on.
Just a tip for next time.

is it not wanting to turn over or just clicking?

i used that method about all the time and never had a problem turning on my car.

Hi,
Its not a big problem dude. Let the engine dry or make it dry with any dryer.
It will start soon and always wash engine when it is a little worm not when it is too much hot.
