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.
