I would check for water under the driver's seat. That's where the ECU lives and if you have a drain plugged, water collects under the seat. Since you're in IT, you know ECUs don't care for H2O. A wet ECU will cause lots of odd electrical issues. Generally you have to let the unit dry out before running it, which didn't happen in your case. You may now have a damaged ECU.

I haven't done an alternator replacement, but you should be able to get to it from the panel behind the seats. Don't quote me on that.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
