Dead alternator ? or maybe a fuse?

I'm so beyond pissed at myself .. I got to my dad's place opened the hood to let heat out , I accidentally sprayed the motor with water . , I dried it off , and started the car. But now the alternator is not charging I'm guessing it got wet when I sprayed the motor..


is that it ? end of the line? alt is dead ? or maybe could a fuse have gone ?

could it start ot work after it dries?

Power FC , jsut reads the voltage going down and down . when the car runs .. sorry I'm a little pressed for time I cant say I did a very thorough search , But I've read everything from put wd40 to its dead replace .

just trying to see if there is any hope . since I'm now stuck here.

yea i'd just wait and see what the damage was after it dried off, hopefully its isolated and just the alternator at most and didnt spike voltage across anything
