Hit a Deer, Seemed fine...Then Today Everything goes Wrong

[b00fer]

So Monday Night i was going home and deer jumps out in front of me and i hit it ( 2000 2.5rs) Smashes my fog light covering but light still works takes out both my bumper vents smashes 1 signal light and just knocks other out but still looks fine.

So i figure my front blinkers are gone but backs and sides work fine but blink really fast cause fronts are out. So i planned on picking up new light bulbs/lights tomorrow at local junkyard.

Well today i had to run to work and all my Guages on my Cluster Die, My blinkers die, Windows die and sunroof. Lights still work and Cluster lights up but No guages or windows. My Brakes are also making some weird noises.

Just I have no idea whats going on one second everything was fine all day then bam everything goes out at once.

Damn...one deer can do that...Try checking your wireing where the damage is and fuses? Maby have some deer parts in your breaks or somthing haha but sucks to hear man, did the deer live?

[OutbackSptDriver]

Yeah, check your electrical. The hit could have twisted a wire and it's live and touching chasis. It could have also drained your batt overnight because of it which could be throwing your crap off. Good luck, you're just gonna have to take it to the shop and call insurance because that stuff isn't going to be some change outta pocket.

good luck

Yea not sure what it is, Insurance is gonna be covering all of it. Its being taken out on a Flatbed tomorrow from my house

Looks like you got lucky with the damage. A lot of times when people hit a deer they are on the brakes and the car noses dowm causing the deer to come up and over the hood- at least you are not looking at a new hood and windshield too. The worst crashes involving deer usually occur when the driver tries to avoid the deer and end up rolling there car in the ditch, sometimes it's best to just hit the damn thing. Now that it is tourist season here, people are hitting deer left and right, saw four on the road on my way to work this morning.

Yea, It jumped out so quick i didnt even brake.Just Whack and it bounced off, Got up and ran away.

Im very lucky it didnt bounce up on my hood and through my windshield, Whats annoying me is i was just about to sell this ( it actually is for sale) and gettin all set to buy a WRX. This is gonna set me back a bit

Damm deer anyways. Prob a good thing you didn't hit the brakes. Whats your deductable, hopefully It doesn't kill you like what happened to me. I have a really low comp. but a high coll. thinking that if it was my fault I should pay. Well I parked my car and Came back to it the next morning with the whole rear QP bashed in. Somebody with a big truck w\ a trailer hitch backed into me punching a huge hole in my brand new 05 RS. I called the insurance and told them what happened and they told me I would come off my collision. I freaked out- I didn't collide with shit , I was not In my car, It should be comp. what the hell. Well she told me that comp only covers vandalism, acts of god, ect. My (angry) responce was what the hell is the difference between hit and run and vandalism. I was so pissed it made me want to take a baseball bat to my car before they came and then say my mistake, I guess it was vandalism. So reluctantly I took the money I had saved for my exhaust and paid the deductable(1000). My comp. deductable was only 250 I was sooooooooooooo pisssssssssed.

[b00fer]

Yea its only 250, Im gettin a new bumper out of the deal. Were friends with body shop guy so hes incorporatingthat 250 into the price so its essentially free for me. I want the RS back so i can sell it and buy my WRX i so dearly desire.

Good luck. Did it crap all over your car? I swear they panic-shit every time..

Heh. Here we go, the lastest one being my dad's Legacy - post contact;




I'd probably do the same thing if I got hit. O.o

Sounds like the fuse connections... if your brakes are sounding weird the abs might be cutting in and out from that.
