Hit a deer a few weeks ago, not much of a jolt, really. Just bent the
hood and broke a headlight. Took to body shop, new hood + light + paint
= $1600. Picked it up, and the charge and brake lights were on, the
clock does not work, and the trip odometer has no memory with the key
off. I check it out, can't find anything but a bad alternator. Take it
back to the body shop, and get their mechanic's opinion: bad alternator.
I replace it myself (a pain, but not too bad). Fixes the charging
system, but the clock still does not work, the security LED does not
blink, and the trip meter still has no memory. My Haynes does not show
enough schematics to see the connection (pun intended). Yes, all the
fuses in both fuse boxes are good.
Am I missing something?
I have inspected all of the harnesses and ground connections all around
the front of the car, can't find a problem.
Input greatly appreciated!!
