I got in a accident about a month ago. I got hit on the fender part passenger side. Car was still ON after the hit but steering wheel would not turn. I had my friendsmechanic come look at it and comes to find out the inner tie rod was really bent and so was the sway bar. I purchased a inner tie rod, outter tie rod, sway bar & new axle from a local parts store.. he finished the job but now is saying the car won’t start. Any advice on what I should do or what you guys think it might be?? maybe something that has to do with the cars computer system? please any help I’d really appreciate it!

 

You need to gives a bit more information, so we can better help. Like what else did the mechanic do? Did he remove the battery and maybe crossed the power leads.

Also what is the car doing when you try to start it? Does the engine turn over, are there any lights on the dash? Did you test the battery voltage?

 

+1 on needing more information.

When I had some bodywork done on my car a while back, the guys in the body shop somehow blew a multiplex fuse in my car. Basically. when I went to fire it up, there was literally NOTHING working. We jumped the car and I was able to drive it home; however, when I went to start it the next day, all of the interior lights, the radio, power seats, auto tilt steering wheel, etc. were just dead... Car started, but barely. I'd check the battery connections and fuses for starters.

 

He checked the codes and comes out it was an electrical problem, can’t quote which codes it was but when I meet up with him I’ll ask for more details. he said it was able to start once he fixed the electric problem and comes to find out I don’t need the axle, so returning that back Friday! So far I’ve bought new inner & outer tie rods, sway bar and CV boot just came in today from monument auto parts. I’m going to for sure test drive it before anything.. now I got to look for a fender and tail lights passenger side at a junk yard wish me luck & THANK YOU for u guys who replied!!
