DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER!!!! Steam in the engine bay is bad. Steam can go where even water cannot. Steam will settle in electronic connectors and eventually cause corrosion there. Those little connectors under the hood do a great job keeping water out of the connector but will let steam in, and once the steam gets in it returns to water.

just cover the electrical components with a tight plastic wrap. and use the steam sparingly.
