This is my 1st thread, and its a biggy. But I wanted to say hi to everyone.
OK I have a 05 Mazda 3 2.3 5 speed I was heading to work one morning and the engine started knocking. I found a guy that would switch engines out. I found one for $650 with almost 70,000 miles. OK the guy ended up having my car for 4 months. I got it back last night. The engine sounds great no ticks or Knocks can't hear it run. But every dash light is on. The check engine, air bag, abs, and another one that has a steering wheel with a explanation mark beside it. He told me he had to take the whole steering column out of it. My speedometer dont work now and the horn dont work now either oh and my dim head lights dont work now. He said when he put it on the rack he seen the abs wires was hanging down instead of hooking them back up he let them hang. I was under my car the day that it was knocking. I'm so mad right now, he also put 4 dents and scratched my front rims. Sorry for being so windy...and help would be great on what to check or what should I try to do next. Thank you Rex Allen
