Gee I don't know how deep the water was - 6 inches , 12 inches?

Coming out of the puddle many of those red warning lights either went on - or started to glow. After a mile they started to go out. I drove an extra 5 miles to dry things out.

The oil looks good - I was starting to wonder if I contaminated something - like 5 speed lube. I was in and out of that water quickly although it seemed like forever.

Does the 850 have a week spot that I should check when you turn it into a boat - for example a huge air vent for the transaxle? I'm probably overreacting - but it was startling to have those lights come on. I must have got some water into a wiring loom. I did see the car before me make it through the water - so I figured it was OK.
