Daughter drove part way into

- Thank you for the reply. No, it was really not that deep, inside was dry. I think she went in and chsnged her mind then it died. She said something about a guy pulled her backwards off the street but I don't know that she had it in nuetral, she doesn't think that she could get it to go so I am afraid he drug her her just a little. The air cleaner and the box were wet, the intake to teh throttle body has just a little water in the hose leading to it. We put in a new battery, i pulled the starter and it engages and spins but when you put it back on the motor it just clicks but does engage or turn the engine over, when you in the car the instrument lites are on and then they dim a little while you are turning the key. I am afraid there is something electrica/computer type that is keeping it from engaging and turning the engine. I think if it would tun ober it would start. The noise it makes is just like a starter when the battery is too dead to crank it over. Don't know wherer to start now.

thanks,

- When i pulled the starter it appears to bench test properly. The relay is a possibility, where would I find that and can it be tested or only repalced? When i bendh tested it, the silenoid pops the gear in and out and the power spins the motor. When it is back on the vehicle you can hear and feel the silenoid bang but it doen't seem to spin the gear and does nothing to the engine with regards to cranking it.
