so i rolled my car a couple days ago, smashed it up pretty good. all electrics were working well after the crash stereo and everything, headlights and all still on.

anyways the car was sitting on its side so the tow truck guy had to yank it down so it fell flat onto all 4 wheels, whcih is where the electrics shut off..


any idea where to start diagnosing whats wrong? I have voltage on the battery and the headlight motors still work.. thats all ive detected so far. i think all of the big fuses in the engine bay are ok but I dont really know how to check on thoose ones

 

well they should have clear tops where you can see the metal and if all of that is ok then when he pulled it onto all four wheels then maybe from the impact the batter and the tray jumped from the sudden shock of impact and messedup the grounding

 

yeah ill check the grounds in the am. donno what im looking for though

 

If the headlights and headlight retractors work, the battery is good and the connectors are good on the battery. Do the turn signals work? Do the fuel and volt gauge rise when the key is to ON or do they just sit there?

 

the only sign of power ive seen so far is to the headlight motors. the lights worked before he pulled the car down but they turned off when it hit the ground.

 

no ideas from anyone?
