I have a 1997 Dodge Dakota with a 5.2L. I was involved in an accident and it crushed the front driver's side of the truck. It basically only smashed the front headlight. I am in the process of replacing the front clip. When I went to take the headlight assembly out I took all the bulbs out and tucked the wires from the assembly inside the hole where the wires were coming out of right next to the fuse box right inside the engine compartment. I did not have the battery disconnected (I know stupid of me). I then went around and noticed that the dome light inside the truck was off. Everything inside the truck does not work besides the illumination around the gages and the cigarette lighter. But none of the gages, radio, dome light, or the mirrors work. I've gone through and checked all the fuses and they're all good. I am not sure if it might be an actual relay or a wiring problem. Before all this happened, everything worked. There was no spark or any short when I put the wires inside that I saw. Is there some way that I can check the relays? All the relays that I saw on the panel diagram didn't say anything about the gages or any interior components. There is one relay type thing inside the fuse box in the cab but I am not what it is for. Any Suggestions? Please I need professional help on this one only.
