The new issue is that once I put the rcm from dj back in I had all the lights related to brakes and abs and check engine light on with the p0600 code thrown and now wing is stuck, no speedometer no abs/traction control etc.so now I'm wondering where to look to fix this issue. Was going to get a new battery for starts and check the grounds...any insight or helpful tips on what and where to look for the cause of this p0600 code will be greatly appreciated.
How old is your battery? If you're not getting the right voltage, the electronics in this car will go crazy and all kinds of weird stuff happens. Even if the battery is new you can still have a dead cell and it won't produce enough voltage.
Also when you disconnect the battery always remove the negative cable first. When installing a battery always put the positive cable on first.
I would suggest that you also check the battery terminals for corrosion and tightness. The terminals on the battery are actually a bit cone shaped and if the connector is not all of the way seated it will ride up the battery terminal and lose contact.
This has happened on my car when I first bought it. Check your ground connections as well.
