My 940 was hit by a reversing snow plow and smashed the driver side headlight assembly.

I had still been driving it with the broken light because i am a delivery driver. Tonight when i went to turn my remaining headlight on my dash lights dimmed and smoke started coming out of the dash. Then my horn started to blow all on its own. I figured the dangling light was shorting on something so i took it off and all seemed well for a hour then it started doing it again when i turned the lights on. Now even with the lights off the second i turn the key the horn sounds.


The insurance company is most likely going to total this car because of the fender damage but i cannot afford to get another car so i was just going to buy it back from the insurance company.

PLEASE tell me there is not any terminal damage....

 

Junk yard parts....

door: $ 45 dollars
relays: $2 to 16 dollars depending on what the one you need
gauge cluster: $28 dollars here in California with two exchanges if they don't work

check your relays:

the drawings pertain to a 94 I think...but might be the same general location and definitely need to dig in under the hood and fender area to see burnt or cut wires...under dash as well.
