Fender replaced, now have headlight error..

[budfox]

As some of you know, I had a deer hit my car and dent up my fender. I took the car to a low cost body shop that replaced the fender with an OEM fender painted and installed for $765.

The fender looks great but now the computer is giving me a right headlight error message, right headlight turn signal message and the back right blinker is blinking extra fast(I presume its because the right headlight isn't working).

I turned my headlights on and the right headlight isn't working. I went over to it and bumped it and it came on but will flicker and turn off if i barely hit it.

The left fender was replaced and the right headlight is screwing up. Someone Help!!!!

maybe a pinched wire or a bad connection

i know that you will get an error message if the car is turned on while the headlight is disconnected however i doubt that thats your issue. Is the insurance paying for the repair?

Or a bad bulb with a faulty connection.

Gotta go over all the wires and connections very carefully. Strange things happen in accidents... Lots of high-impact issues.

Insurance gave me $1500 - $500dedcutible. I had repairs done at another body shop for $765 + new winshield(not affected by collision) for total of $912.

I didn't have the error message after the accident but i started seeing the error message right after i got my fender fixed.

You think I can add that cost to the insurance, or will that be a problem for the body shop?
