Got bumped in rear

2002 Z. Got tapped barely enough to scratch the paint BUT now all at once I have a dead fuel gauge, a dead water temp gauge, an Airbag light, an SES light, and an ASB light. Must be something in common. What should I check first?
Thanks,
Joe

No cell phone distraction. Operator error. Went out at lunchtime and crawled underneath. Nothing amiss. Start the car and everything normal. Thought I exited the Twilight Zone long ago!

All was normal at lunchtime and drive home. Soon as I pulled in driveway same symptoms occured again. Fuses all look fine and reseated them. Also now noticed tach isn't reading. I'm guessing a ground someplace is loose.

Re: Got bumped in rear

The ground wire for the pcm is located on the starter ... .. check both ends!!
two things that you need to do!!!
(1) do a search for shoebox on here look at his signature click on ( location views )
lots of useful information
(2) make your own signature with year and mods to your car
