    I dont even know how to title this

    I was on my way home from the warriors 10minutes down 880 south my front passenger side tire just blew up. I had to drive a mile with a cop following to the closest exit. There were wires sticking out of the wheelwell and later found out that my while tacometer stooped working. The lights could still turn on and off but i couldnt read my gas, spedometer, or my temperature levels. Does any know how to fix this? I ended up towing the rest of the way home.

    Fender Liner

    Pull out your fender liner, it is likely trashed with the tire blowout.

    You will see where the wiring goes.

    Wiring

    I am pretty sure this is from the passenger side and shows what wiring is in the wheel well. Just remember right on the other side of this is the starter, its really well protected but you never know with a tire going bang and crap flying everywhere

    Yeah that’s probably it... the car doesnt even crank but the batteries are fine.

    Check your ground on the motor mount. It hangs out lower and less protected
