.......$20 says uve got some shitty *** ebay coil sleeve springs.....

1. ditch the shitty springs, and get new shocks as well (ones that can handle lowered cars)
2. replace any dead fuses
3. check battery/alternator to make sure all voltage is good

And buy a chilton's or helms manual. Ditch the coilovers, buy springs and aftermarket struts.

Check all fuses and replace if necessary.

Proper grammar and punctuation wouldn't hurt either.

Sounds like you need someone with some electrical skills.

Hold on you are saying that coilovers are not the reason the car is bouncing?? Ya they are...and if you are going to do air??have you ever ridding on air..its slightly more bouncy but then again what do i know about air

well, guy, it's probably important that you told us that you were in the wreck... crashes have a tendancy to make electronics and things not work. it sounds like the suspension is aggrevating the problem, not causing.

welcome to H-T and try to talk like a normal human being. otherwise, let's see how long you last before getting banned.

Well man it really sounds like you are going to need to chase your wires and see if you have any bad connections or check to make sure that you dont have any blown fuses..

The bounciness probably caused the problems you have. That is why almost everyone has said something about them.

The simple answer to your question is that your dome lights and stuff aren't getting any power. Why aren't they getting any power? I have no idea. Though from the description (bumps cause the power to come and go) I'd say you have a short somewhere.

What exactly isn't working on your car (what comes and goes)? Just your windows, dome light, and taillight?

What type of wreck were you in (frontal crash, side crash, etc), and how severe was it? Have you told your insurance company (or the insurance company of the other driver if he was at fault) that the crash has caused electrical problems and that you want them fixed?

As for the bounciness, if it isn't the springs / shocks, what else could it be? Did the bounciness begin only after the accident?

I agree completly, I've had several cars come in with electrical problems caused by the bodyshop not cleaning the ground points properly after repainting the car. One bad groung can affect alot of systems.

sounds like you need to be finding your multimeter and do some testing the connections.

check grounds as someone else said also while your at it.

definately check ur fuses and grounds... i had a loose ground in one of my doors and the dome light wouldnt shut off and the speaker wouldnt turn on, and the door light on the cluster stayed on... take it to a reputable shop thats good with wiring i.e an alarm shop.

good luck
