You can but you have to stay away from the electrics...(no fuse box, no alternator, no relays, etc)....I'd also buy a can of WD-40 so you can dry the over sprayed water off the electrics that you didn't avoid (and I'd also change Write to Right unless you mean as in write a message like I'm doing now)

Yes, you can. When I washed mine, I covered the electronical components with plastic wrap, the kind you use in the kitten. Hey, it worked!
