Default Trac Control Problem

Had my starter replaced. Apparently the mechanic didn't properly tighten a hose and I over heated. Turned car off until it cooled down and drove it back to the shop. Now the trac off light blinks and the trac control button doesn't even work. Any ideas? Thanks.

Over heating maybe he just never got it filled up with coolant. Trac light on check for codes that are set.

Now my car makes a ****ty sound when i start it in the morning. haven't had a chance to bring it in yet to have a code read. Frustrating as it never had a problem before the mechanic touched it. Frustrating.

This is why we need a year of the car. If its a 90 to 94 you don't take it in to read codes. If its a 95 and newer then you need a code reader or take it in. And its way nicer to have the newer car with the OBD2 system, there is just so much more a scan tool can do with it, makes it nice to trouble shoot problems.

Oh shoot. I thought that info was in my signature. It's a 1995. Thanks.

Is there any harness visually unplugged/ loose? when I replaced my starter, I missed plugging in a few key connections when I put everything back together. Check to see if there is anything visually out of place.
