Hello,
i had a deer accident a few weeks ago.
I tried to repair it now but i think it demolished the ECU too. So i went to the next junkyard and got a different one, but when I plugged it in and tried to start the van the little red dot in the dash was flashing and the van was shutting off after 2 seconds. So I switched it back to the old one.
But now it wasn't even starting anymore wich it did before. It was not showing in wich position the gearlever was in. I tried to hard reset it, but it didn't work. So I am asking for help.

thats the old one

thats the new one
I at least want it to start up so i can get it to a shop so they can take a look. Thanks for the help
its a 2009 Grand Caravan

 

It won't start you'll need to get it towed to a shop where they can reprogram the ECU to your van.

 

Was your car insured? If you have сomprehensive insurance, then there shouldn't have been any problems. Comprehensive coverage of your car insurance policy usually covers deer accidents. It’s good that it was only a deer strike. A trucker, friend of mine, bumped into another truck because of a deer running ahead. I agree, he should have already hit the deer. As a result, he called a truck accident attorney los Angeles, because the insurance company wanted to completely shift the blame for the accident to him, and thus they'd have avoided payment at all. Luckily, lawyer won the case .
