stalled out won't restart
I drove through a puddle on the road from melting snow that was about 8" deep and my 2013 JK stalled out and wont restart. Water came up onto the hood. I thought maybe it was fuel because my light was on so I put enough in to shut the light off. Still won't start.

Did you pull out the air filter and check the oil for water? Best case you have some wet electronics that need to dry, worst is hydrolocked..

I tried it today. Still no go. It's at the dealer right now. The puddle splashed up over the hood when I drove through it. Why would they make the air intake such that it's so easy to hydro lock? That just seems messed up. How do I fix that when I get it back?

Regardless, the answer to your question is a snorkel.
Still, Jeeps without snorkels take on some pretty deep water (skip to 38 seconds if you're in a hurry) ...

Guessing you hit a puddle going fast and water splashed all over under the hood.
Dealer will most likely said your #4 coil pack is fried (shorted out) and they won't cover it under warranty because it was caused by "off roading" your trail rated Jeep....Stupid I know, already been there.
