this is a long one people, iv got a few problems and im at the end of my rope...
so i got into an accedent recently. everything was working fine befor the accedent, mius the fact that i knew i needed a new alternator but it was working enough for the car to run but i knew it was going bad. so i got into this accident, little 5 mile an hour fender bender that ended up being 5 grand worth of damage. so the car was "drivable" home it had a really rough idle but as long as i had my foot on the gas it was fine.
so i get the car back from the shop the other day and the idle problem is even worse now the car will shut off if it is in park for more than 30 seconds. also nothing works on the inside of the car. the windows wont come down the remote start / security wont work. my dash lights come on sometime when i accelerate to tell me my abs traction control and check engine light is on. the clock wont work. the speedometer/ tach/ gas wont register unless i have my foot on the gas.
so the shop gives me the car back like this and says change the alternator and the battery and everything should be fine. they wanted 500$ to do it it told them they were nuts so i just changed it this morning an also had the battery checked... so everything is fine now??? no its not nothing has changed everything is still broken.
there is a lot of aftermarket equipment in the car, but i have 2 batteries in the car and all the after market stuff is hooked up to the 2nd battery. so i can make this electrical system completely stock if i wanted too. both battery are run with a battery isolator to charge them both. it been working fine for a year i don't think its that. i even took it off an tried to run the car normally and it still wont work.
im taking the car back tomorow morning but i just wanted to ask and see if anyone here has ever had this problem r can help me out?? thanks alot if you can and thanks for reading.
