electric problem HELP!
hi
my sub has some strange electrical problem, i explain, some times when i put my signal lights the hole dash turns off (backlight, tachometer, speedometer, odometer) and some times when i am going to start my engine it is like it has low battery, i keep the key on the starter and the more longer i keep it the faster the starter goes and when it starts "normaly" i have to turn off head lights and lower my audio and i say "normal" because i know it isnt starting with full power. This happen since i crash my car, the car is fixed but some times has that problem with the signal lights and some times when i brake and my headlights are on and the problem with the starter.
here is a pic of my car when crash so u can tell me if something electrical was near and they didnt fix it
ps. i hit a palm tree and the side walk i had to change both cross member and tires (was drunk) DONT DRINK AND DRIVE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO U!!!!

YOU PROBABLE HAVE A SHORT SOME WHERE ARE THER FUSES BLOWING OUT? MY GIRLFRIENDS BROTHER HAD A CAVALIER, AND IT'S INGNITION WAS A F UP, NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT, TILL HE SOLD IT TO A GAS STATION, THEY FIXED IT, IT WAS A SHORT IN THE FOGLIGHT WIRING, SOMEWHERE IN THE BUMPER. CHECK YOUR WIRING, AND FUSES, DID YOUR AIRBAG GO OFF?

Heard this on cartalk...Don't know if it will help, but it sounds like it may be the problem...
The negative ground from the battery to the firewall may have been knocked loose during the crash...Therefore, when you go to crank the car, it has to crank long enough to build up enough voltage to bridge the gap, and when you turn on your blinkers, it may upset the balance. Giggle the wires around the firewall while its running and see it you can find the culprit.

i already solve my problem
it was the battery(10 month old) so i bring the batery to pepboys and change it for a new one for free (guaranty). any way i will check that because it is odd that the problem with the batery starts since the crash.
thanks a lot anyway for ur time
