Help please! Has any experienced this issue and what did you do to fix it.

Here is the story so bare with me. this past summer I had an oil leak from the oil filter housing. I replaced the gasket but did not replace the belt. A couple weeks go by and then my belt shredded while I was on the highway. I had the car towed by home. I purchased another belt and put it on. I drove it for a month and noticed I had oil on the front of my engine. took the car to the car wash and washed the engine. Couple days go by and I noticed oil all over the hose and the engine again. I did some research and found out when the belt shreds, it tightens on the crank shaft and get sucked into the engine. Fast forward, I parked the car until I could find a place to work on it. it sat for 3 months. when I was ready to move it, i started it up and had multiply light malfunctions such as; 2 stage brake light malfunction (which is working), left rear blinker and right rear blinker malfunctions ( which when the turn signal is turned on either direction, all the blinkers are working but blink fast as if there is a bad bulb), left low beam malfunction (it does occasionally blink at least), right high beam malfunction ( But it is working) and left tail light malfunction ( which I did find 2 bulbs that do not light up but they look good). I will replace the 2 tonight.
oh I did pull all the tail light bulbs and clean the sockets and bulbs.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I'd clear the codes first before any further diagnosis. Letting the car sit for three months could have drained the battery to trigger faults due to low battery voltage. My last battery was getting low voltage after just a few days of sitting (which is rare for my car). Nonetheless, it would leave similar chassis trouble codes, that would clear and not come back while the battery stayed charged. I changed the battery and no codes resurfaced.

Now about the shredded belt... You have a blown front crank seal. You need to be concerned belt bits got into the oil sump.

Thank you for your response. I've put my code reader on it and it's not pulling those codes. I don't see anyway on the navi to reset them. I'm actually at the dealer now. The SA just showed me the codes are on the key fob. I didn't know the key held those kind of codes. lol. sure wish I knew a way to clear them.
as far as the belt shredding? yeah already did all that. There was a few strands wrapped around the crankshaft. Got it all out. The only thing that made me mad was dropping the sub-frame and oil pan to clean out the belt debris. 9nly problem was there was no debris in it but I had to be sure lol. i did replace the crankshaft seal as well AND A PUT ON A NEW BELT haha

Damn that sucks trying picking one up from a junkyard

[mrucker71]

that's what I was thinking but they said not to. i have the part number and found a couple new ones on Ebay. cheapest was $354. they said they have to program it. I'm like why? its an ECM, all they should have to do is flash the drive whether it is new or used.
