03 Si Electrical Problems
Someone backed into my car and since then I have had multiple electrical problems arise.
1. My idle RPM floats around 2000 and fluctuates frequently
2. My vtec rarely works anymore keeping my RPMs below 4000
3. The circuit from my starter to my key no longer works. Had to create a alternate switch after I replaced my starter.
4. My temperature sensor is out again so my radiator fan doesn't turn on.
5. My cruise control no longer works. The button doesn't turn on and the controls on the steering wheel don't work.
6. My driver side window randomly doesn't roll down.
7. My AC doesn't work, probably unrelated but thought I would mention it either way.
Each problem manifested separately and over the course of a couple months. I have replaced my throttle position sensor and temperature sensor. I don't know where to start in diagnosing these problems.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 03 Si Electrical Problems
How bad was the crash damage? Where is the damage?
Did like the crash damage a wire harness?
Pick ONE problem and chase it to its logical conclusion, you may discover the root cause of more than one problem
But much on your list can happen to any car, so much of your list may have nothing to do with crash damage.
You probably need to find a technician who is very good with troubleshooting electrical faults.
