Hey all so I am out of money and ideas on how to fix this issue.
Story time-
-2 years ago a head gasket blew. We didnt have money to fix it.
-August 2025- we have enough money to replace the engine since the quotes we were getting was that it was going to be 8k+ to repair the head. Engine swap was $5k.
-we went with a local mechanic. It came back eith blown headlights, no front Motor blower and damage clips on the radiator because he hard-wired in the engine fan instead of doing the relay.
-mechanic ghosted us.
-tow it to the dealership. We could only afford 2300 if the 5700 quoted in repairs to make the car run. The ones left were
---replace the PDC (fuse box) because it was shorted out all throughout.
---replace the front Motor blower and power module(?)( just what the report said, after googling it looks like it was the resistor?
-bought the parts for the PDC and front Motor blower. New PDC wont communicate at all enough to even start. Everything is black.
-put the old PDC in and now it does this crazy light and warnings thing (see videos).
Soft reset I have tried is pushing the start button 2x, waiting 12 seconds and then turning it off. Car wont turn off.
Hard reset - tried this by disconnecting the batteries and having the positive ans negative connection s touch to drain the capacitors. Didn't work.
What do I try next? Please help.... I cant afford mechanic and this is my daily. I have jov interviews coming up I need to be able to get to. (Yes I also have friends lined up to help with rides so Im not totally fish out of water but Im struggling. )
Thabk you
