Deer disaster and repair issues

Featured Replies

Hey all, been a member for a long time but haven't been around due to school and summer work out of state. But anyways, here's the deal.

 

A couple weeks ago I smoked a deer at a high rate of speed. That's a long story in itself so I won't go there. The damage was mediocre though. Airbag went off, radiator, condensor and fans got pushed into the engine a bit, and it busted up three of the five timing covers. The timing belt also gauged.

 

Since then I've replaced the t-belt, covers, straightened out the lower radiator support(best I could), mounted used radiator and fans, different bummper assembly, headlights and turnlamps. I finally got it running today; its been tough with my schedule at school.

 

The problem is, now my lights are acting all goofy. All the turn lamps light up, but they do not blink anymore. The taillights won't come on with the headlights but will when I hit the brakes.

 

I've yet to really dive into it with my multimeter as I was outside in 34 degree weather all day and was sick of it. I'm just looking for a point in the right direction to try to save some time with this problem.

 

I didn't see any obvious pinched wires with the turnlamps in front since I hit the deer perfecly square and most of the damage was in the center.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Oh yeah, its a 93 legacy AWD 5MT

It would probably be easiest to start by replacing that section of the wiring harness (headlight harness at the front of the car). Something in a plug or wire is probably pinched but tracking it down might take longer than just soldering in new wires.
