Size:  71.8 KBSo I took hard left into a tree the other day. Luckily I found a parts car. My problem is I dont know how to reset the safety feature that makes the tail lights stay on after the airbags are deployed.

You need a dealer to reset the bags its like 100$ you may also want to get your chassis checked just incase you bent something

I am pretty sure that car would take a few hours on a frame machine to get back square. Most likely the radiator support pulled the strut towers in towards eachother. Curb might have done a number on the Kmember mount also.

I already, bought a v6 parts car for $850. It has a blown head gasket and its a bit rough, but most parts I need are in pretty good shape. Is having a dealership reset it the only way?

I already guessed it. He was chasing a squirrel, and forgot to turn the steering wheel to the "up" position.
