Need someone to look at my electrical issues DFW area
Hello,
My 95 GS300 was broken into last year and they took the in-dash screen. They basically ripped it out along with the A/C controls as the screen was attached to them. When I got my car back from my mechanic (he went to a junk yard and got the stock radio and A/C controls), I found that I was unable to control the temperature of the A/C, you can either put it on 65 or 85, nothing between, same with the fan, you can either put it on the first setting or on full-blast.
What's worse, I was turning onto my friend's street and everything cut off, after trying to start it again (wouldn't even crank) I had to push it. After doing that for a bit, I tried starting it again, and it worked.
Obviously there's some sort of issue with the wiring that is out of the scope of my mechanics ability, if anyone can point me to someone in the DFW area that can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it.
This is just the first step in trying to restore it, I need to get some frame damage looked at, and I need the whole interior gutted as well, so if you can refer me to some places that would be greatly appreciate too.

I take my 99 SC300 and 97 Toyo Camry to Hondura Car Service. The owner is Paul and I have always had good service with them on my cars. Plus, he's honest on work that needs to be done and has great prices.
