Car got flooded and now cant get amp to work

[Jfo]

OK the deal is this the car got flooded but has since been repaired and dried out so I get the car back from the shop and of course my amp doesnt work which I figure is becuz of a blown fuse....but when I go to replace the fuse by the battery i just sparks real bad to the point where I cant install a new fuse so my question is do I have a bad ground connection or what.....becuz usually when you go to replace the fuse by the battery its just a littlespark but you install the fuse easy not this kind of spark that Im getting......its possible that somehow water my have gotten to my ground connection and rusted it or made it a bad connection..but if not anyone have any other ideas?

ok heres an update while the amp didnt get flooded itself ,the water wasnt that high, it may have moisture in it so I am gonna dry it out...but the thing is I disconnected my power from the amp and tried to put a fuse in by the battery and it is still sparking or grounding out so what is the deal is the wire no good becuz it looks and I say it looks thru the covering as if right by the battery the wire is kind of burned anyone got any ideas?

Ususally when cars are flooded they are totaled. If the water is high enough it can rust all the wires and connecters in the car. Basically every wire is trash after that point. If your amp isnt working you need to see if the radio got wet, the RCAs, power and ground rusting....etc. A flooded car may be a total loss.

Nah water only got to the bottom of the seats and it has already been repaired and I already fixed the amp...simple problem of when the shop put the interior panel on that runs by the drivers seat they crimped the amp wire under it and it had bare wire showing so I taped it up and re ran it popped a new fuse in a now it works


thanks

How the hell did you flood your car, REALLY bad storm or something?
