After a whole day of constant rain i tried to start my car up and it just ticks....theres also smoke comming from the underhood fuse box?!?!?...i'm guessing my fuse box got wet....has this ever happen to anyone?

 

was it smoke, or was it steam? either way probably not the best thing

 

smoke.....smelt like something burnt

 

i would say you have a loose wire somewhere that water might have bridged in some way? im only speculating here.

 

Ok i checked out what was going....there was a wire exposed i guess it grounded with the body of the car,made a spark and burnt a couple wires on the fuse box harness so I joined the wires back color cordinate. When i jump start the car it starts up fine but once you remove the jumper cable the car dies. I also changed the alternator and it does the same thing. All fuses are fine...i'm guessing the fuse box is messed up???

check your battery to make sure its ok.

Also what happens if you try to crank it without it being jumped?
