The main differences I'm thinking of - apart from fully manual actions
for everything - are that in Ye Olde Dayes, electrical systems were
operated by manual switch, relay or solenoid and the like and we have
already established that 12v systems seem capable of working when
submerged in fresh water. But modern car electrics are operated
through touchscreens and sensors and other on-board-computer input and
output devices and we all know what happens if you drop your computer
or your smartphone into the water. Are car electronic systems
sufficiently water resistant to avoid this?
There were competitions to see what liquids could be used to submerge a
working desktop PC, IIRC, starting with distilled water then various oils.
