Electrical problem
1990 Honda Accord 4 cyl Automatic 197325 miles

So here is a quick rundown, I was pulling out of my driveway and I hit the side of my apartment complex building. I hit the driver side by the blinker and the driver side front fender. It wasn't a major accident, as I was only going about 5 miles an hour. Anyway, my car worked fine. I drove it to work. Nothing seemed to be the matter with it. Then I was on my way home from work and my dashboard and clock power went off. Everthing else still works fine. My temperature gauge, my gas gauge, my speedomoter, my mileage, rpms, and my windows (they are power windows),all of that is not working, including my clock. My head and brake lights work, my lights on my door and the one when you open the door works, the lights where my A/C is , my stereo, my hazard lights, all work. The strange thing is everything was working fine, until I drove home from work. When I put my left blinker on, it just all of a sudden went out! Do you know what it wrong with it or how I can fix it? I appreciate any help that I can get.

Hi BreeGirl23,

Check if any of the fuses are blown in in both underhood and underdash fuse box.

If any are found blown, check the damaged area for wires that might have been stripped causing shorting.
