Wondering if anyone has seen this? When I drive through a water puddle( not very deep, 2 inches) at slow speeds like in a parking lot, the car will start to die, the battery light will come on, and the power steering will go out, and after about 3-5 seconds everything goes back to normal. I have had it running and sprayed water from the stop and bottom, but can't make it happen. Any help would be great. Oh it is an 06 accord 4 banger

 

Can you tell us about the car - year/engine would be nice. Also any mods or recent work done to the car?

The strange part is spraying water doesn't do anything.

It's got one serpentine belt to drive everything - alternator, power-steering, etc. But what about a slipping crankshaft pulley? There's a rubber layer between the hub & rim of the crankshaft pulley, easy to miss if you don't know it's there. Did you manage to spray water on that?
