Default Electrical issues

I can't figure out what the hell is wrong with my car, we took the passenger side head becasue i dropped a washer in the cyclinder head, and we reconnected everything, and the car is freaking out. Both turning signals are on, and the hi-beam indicator light is on in the dash, and the sercurity light. The guages are all jumpy too, i can't figure out what is going on. Need help!

Did you happen to bump any of the harnesses on the ECM loose or drip any coolant into it?? You said it was on the passenger side, just a shot in the dark.

I don't think any coolant dripped into the ecm anything, i mean coolant went to the floor when we pulled the head off. Is it possible the computer is fryed? How would i figure out if the computer is fryed or not. The car cranks but it won't fire.

On the back side of the drivers head is a short ground wire that attaches to the head, You may have broke it off even when working on the pass side. Check your #5 pin on the OBDII connector, should be ground, if you are getting any volts through there, the ground could be off the back of drivers head, hope this helps
Just read the rest of your posts, will bet the ground is off back of head
