I was driving through the rain and hit a huge puddle. About 7-10 minutes later, as I was pulling into my driveway, my car stopped. The check engine light, battery light and check oil light all came on. I then shut off my car and tried to start it again. It wouldn't even turn over. What are some possible problems?

Hi Sunshine17,

Check if water had gotten into the starter resulting in it not turning.

Check for loose battery connections.

Hope the puddle is not big enough for water to be drawn into the engine which might cause a lot of damage.

Check battery voltage.
