so im drivin along n hit a big chain in the road an my rpm, mph, an engine temp needles all die... gas gauge still works.. any ideas? turn signals r out too....

 

Have you looked under your hood to see if there's any damage or busted fuses? Maybe I should use my mental abilities to diagnose exactly what happened without having to leave my home. Hold on...

Did it work? No? Okay, then go out and take some pictures of the underside and engine bay of your car and get back to us.

 

Where did this chain make contact with the car?

 

well I appreciate the prompt response the smart *** **** aint needed dude.. im on the interstate pulled over, **** just happened 2 minutes ago...

 

Probably just knocked a wire loose.

Check your fuses (both boxes) and tell us where the chain made contact with the car.

 

it was all rolled into a lil ball in middle of my lane an I swerved to not make contact but hit it anyways a the second I hit it I heard Boom n all my gauges died except fuel an my car still runs fine but I don't wanna risk a 2hr drive on a wish ya know... just seein if anyone might kno what to check... obd1 d15b in ej2... if that helps...

 

You can't find a place underneath where the chain made contact?

 

honestly dude I dnt think it hit anything.. just felt like a big *** pothole...

 

Hopefully something was just knocked loose from the impact and not actually destroyed.

And from hitting something under the car, there's not many electrical things that could have been hit, yanno? My guess is that you hit it so hard you literally knocked a fuse loose. I'm not sure why the gas guage still works and nothing else, but since the turn signals are out too....Just do a quick check in the fuse boxes for the appropriate fuses and hope for the best. Check the underhood fuse box as well, and see if any wires are literally ripped and hanging anywhere. Good luck brotha!
