Driving through waterlogged roads during monsoon especially in Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar causes:

Water ingress into alternator windings o r bearings.

Rusting of internal components.

Short circuits o r open diodes in the rectifier.

This is a frequent cause of alternator failure. Regular inspections after monsoon driving are essential.
