What happens here
To temporarily mitigate the water issue, Alex uses compressed air to blow out the moisture from the electrical plugs of the hydraulic valves. He demonstrates this by forcefully blowing into the connectors. The main speaker highlights the design flaw that allows water to enter these critical areas, questioning why a more waterproof design wasn't implemented.
Goal: Remove moisture from electrical connectors to restore functionality.
