问：如果水在我的汽车开关上我该怎么办？

在大多数情况下，当水洒在我们的汽车内部时，这并不是一个可怕的情况。如果水到达地毯上或座椅的织物上，我们通常会用抹布或毛巾将其浸泡，或者只是让它有时间干燥。但是，有时水进入电气开关。大多数杯架位于中央控制台上。在许多车辆上，这非常接近许多组件（例如窗户和娱乐系统）的开关位置。当水溢出这些开关时，您可能会想到一个严重的电气问题以及修复它可能需要花费多少，但是有了一点知识和稍微运气，您可能会防止昂贵的维修。

If you get water on any of the switches inside of your vehicle, the first thing you should do is refrain from using that switch. Keeping any electrical power from going through the switch can prevent you from shorting anything out. From that point, it is best to give the switch time to dry; it can take several hours, even several days, for water to dry out from an enclosed area such as a switch. After allowing the switch to dry, you can attempt to use it to see if it is functioning. If it does not work properly, the best thing to do is replace it. In some cases there are switches that can be disassembled and cleaned, but the majority of the switches on modern vehicles cannot be taken apart.

The best way to ensure that you avoid a costly repair is to prevent it from occurring. Using containers that have sealable tops is the best way to prevent spills, and keeping a small rag or napkins in an easily accessible area will allow you to soak up as much of the liquid as possible should this occur. If you end up spilling water into one of your switches or other electrical components, it is important to give it time to dry, then have a certified mechanicinspect the component并在必要时更换它，应持续存在问题。
