Need help badly..

So in my 87 iroc ive had a problem with the shifter cable, this is my second one and it broke again just like the first one and I had it fixed somewhat to where my car would shift just fine except it wouldnt fully go into park..


Well anyway after a long day of work I wanted to hurry and get home and I got in my car, held the brake, started it up and it went flying forwards into a bush and a huge rock in some mulch.

Cars carb'ed and the choke came on and it was just too much for me barely pushing on the brake and I ran up over the curb into the garden haha.


so my problem now is I have to find new side ground effects and a entire new front bumper which shouldn't be too hard, especially since im getting it painted soon.

But my passengers side driving light or turn signal in the front doesnt work (thats the side that hit the rock) and its dented in and my rear passenger side turn signal is always on. On my dash the turn signal is always on too and I just wanna make sure I dont get pulled over..


Anybody know of a way to fix this?

Re: Need help badly..

Sounds like you've got an electrical issue there. Check to make sure the rock didn't smush the wiring harnesses together. It seems like you've got power going where it shouldn't. Also if you could post pics, that might help.

I'll try to get pics tomorrow. its pretty dark now and I dont have a flashlight but I tried to pry the panel back into place and beat it a little bit with a hammer so it looks somewhat better but the ground effects are demolished. I'll mess with the wiring tomorrow when I can see lol. thanks though

Definitely get a shifter cable from the dealer - the others are all crap.
