well i got into an accident about 3 days ago. the majority of the damage was on the right front corner of the car. it ran fine afterwards and up untill today. there is absolutely no power to anything. i think it might be the battery but it was replaced in june and the voltage was at 14 before and after the accident. it didnt show any signs of being drained.

 

Take the battery OUT..Charge it up.Then Pop the Hood and Look for Any Bare wires<ETC that may have been As a Result of the Accident.Fix them,Tape them ..Look at your Afm and make sure it is Ok..plugged in?..Make sure the Rad hasn't been Damaged.Check the Level of coolant.Go to the Engine bay fuse block and make sure that NO fuses are blown there.iF you have done all the "necessary Stuff" pertaining to Wiring and so On,Replace the fuses.throw the battery back in(clean terminals?) and Give it a Shot.!..Other than That..I haven't a Clue!..you may want to check out the clutch switch too.If you get power to alot of the electrics,but Not the starter,it may be the Problem.Anyhow,some stuff for ya to go by.

 

thanks ill look into that. i just gotta get through my first problem. my hood is stuck closed!

 

heh,heh..Ya I hear ya ..about Openin the hood!..Really you should have checked Under it Right after the accident..But I "ain't sayin Nuthin"!..the "ding" sort of looks like My Daily Driver..Before I Went Berserk and Got all the parts and then took it in to the collision center.The Front was "off' By an Inch or so..they had to Straighten it out on the Frame Machine...It worked out Real nice though.I got a "reliable N/A"..Frankly..in the 30 years that I have had Cars,I've had Less problems with this one,than ANY of the Other cars I have had..mostly GM..(odd Ford thrown in!)

 

you got a rubber cover over your positive charge on the battery?! and do you got something to hold your battery down?!

 

haha its ironic over the past 2 years my dads 99 dodge dakota has given him more problems then my car has given me

 

Disconnect your headlight motor

If its stuck it will continue to try and shut or close and drain the battery.

 

i flip the switch on the dash so they stay up on their own when the car is off. or does that drain the battery?
