Chevy Impala: P0651 Lost 5v Ref 2 After Deer Hit

I have a look at a 2013 Chevy Impala that has had some issues after hitting a deer. Does that have anything to do with the problem or is it just a coincidence? Follow your diagnostic path! Call: I had a 63 impala and my girlfriend thought it was clever to use the cigarette lighter receptacle for a change holder if we put the lighter part in the glove box. This was a non fused circuit and instantly the underside of the dash started smoking as all the wires fused together in a clump thereby creating even more circuits. Took months to repair as fusing happened throughout the car.

Years ago when I worked for an RV dealership, we had a Winnebago motorhome that kept blowing fuses. It was perplexing and baffling until one of the mechanics stepped on the electric slide step on the entrance and the fuse blew.
Tracing the wire revealed nothing until the mechanic pulled on the wire harness through the firewall a little bit. What happened was where the wire harness went through the firewall, the firewall had cut through the insulation of one of the wires. The wire was just enough from the metal until something jogged the wire harness into touching the firewall and creating a short.

I realize that a collision with a deer contributed to the the confusion, but I've owned. Any different brands of vehicles. But this type of abraded and broken wire issues seem to happen to G. M. vehicles with alarming frequency. Very crude wire harness routing.

I've got an Old Gray Mare from 2013, for how sensitive they are it's definitely a wonderful machine from General Maintenance. The LTZ or PPV models are the better of the trims, both of them have slightly better construction compared to the LS and LT.

The only mystery here is did he hit the deer or the deer hit him? After I seen a bear open my car door sit in the passenger seat and eat my damn cheetos while looking at me menacing, I dont doubt any animals intentions. It's a revolution lol.

This would have taken me hours to find. I was thinking it was under the brake pedal, after he hammered the brake pedal when he hit the deer. You get all the best cases of the shop, while the rest of us get to do brakes and wheels, ha ha ha.

This should be good for a few nightmares. what wires could possibly be rubbing on the car that shouldn't be and what stop light will I get stuck at when one finally rubs through? I'm putting a block of wood and a crowbar in the trunk TODAY.

Your'e lucky you found that problem so soon Eric, because I think saying wiggle more times then that in one video is illegal. LOL! BTW: There's a mount connecting the engine to the radiator support? Never seen that before. strange.

Its odd that whenever I take my car to the auto mechanics in my area they are never like Eric here. Often I get, 'we spent 3 hours with it and can't tell you what is wrong, do you want us to go deeper? I get that all the time.

I think I have seen almost every video you've ever posted and I've never heard you swear before, it's always some creative substitute, son of a mother, oh sugar, there's a million of 'em but I FINALLY CAUGHT ONE AT 14: 17!
