hi all, i have a Hilux 2.5 diesel model pick up, i recently rolled it landed on the wheels, but now after panel beating, it does not start, noting works, when the key is in the on position all you hear is a fast paced clicking noise from behind the dashboard at the driver side. not showing anything on the dash like i said nothing seams to be working. i know the speedometer works with some kind of chip, could that be a issue?
