I drove my car last night for the first time since it had been worked on due to a wreck on the front drivers side. I replaced everything on that side, strut, axle, headlight, sway bar, fender, radiator, air conditioner condenser ( I think is what it is called), both steering and passenger air bags, spark plugs and boots. Even had a tune up. Now this morning car will crank, but wont start the engine, weird noises are being made it sounds like from my dash, and a flashing "check traction control" is popping up on my dash. Whats wrong? I drove it last night and it ran wonderful now nothing.

Check battery may be weak check for condition including load test most places do for free. Try to reset security system if no manual look online for your car on how to do it.

I did charge my battery, and I reset my settings. Car started and ran good. Except now there is a leak around my radiator as to which I do not know where from. But thanks for the help. It worked.
