Our car was recently hit while in a parking lot. The other car hit our passenger mirror and collapsed the mirror into the glass of the door. This shattered the mirror glass and scratched the door glass a bit. Whoever hit us also took the back cap when they ran off. The main structure of the mirror is fine but the glass and back cap need to be replaced.
Prior to this incident the car was working flawlessly. Now we have some electrical issues. The key fobs do not work to lock/unlock/pop the trunk. The door buttons do work to lock/unlock but if we use the key to unlock the car it sets off the alarm. The interior lights have also stopped working.
On the damaged mirror there are several sets of wires that were connected to the glass/other things that are no longer connected in both the front and back. Due to a recent ice storm the repair places have about a month lead time before they can get the car in. Is there anything I can do before then to fix the key fob issue? Are those wires not being connected causing the issue?
Any help would be appreciated.
