Frozen starter after water crossing?

[Kirill Rudnev]

Anybody have a problem with a frozen starter after some water crossing the previous day? Any tips or tricks to prevent that from happening?

Hydrophobic dielectric grease. Also for all the wiring connectors!

I use that on my wiring to prevent damage in floods and river crossing. It should work on Ice too.

This was a constant problem for me back when I had my yj. I used to keep a heavy breaker bar in the jeep in the winter and it would start right up after a whack or two. Granted, that’s probably ill advised and not very helpful but it worked!

I assume if you jumpstart the engine it will heat up the starter and the next time you shoud be able to start the engine from the key.
