1993 Mazda MPV electrical and shifting problems

Asked by Michael Aug 05, 2018 at 08:53 AM about the 1993 Mazda MPV 3 Dr STD Passenger Van

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

It started when I had a heavy trailer and put the
MPV in park while I was on a slope. The car got
jammed into Park and I had to disconnect the
linkage to get the MPV to move. After that the MPV
would not shift right and the fuel gauge,
temperature gauge and tachometer won't work.
The fuel gauge moves just a little bit. Also the turn
signals won't work. I haven't gone to the library to
try to look up the wiring diagram and I can't see
anything that's really bent in the linkage. I'm
guessing I might have damaged the ignition switch
but I really have no idea how to troubleshoot it
even if I were to tear down the steering column.
Anybody have a hint on what to do next?

I just wanted to add that the reason I posted this question today was because I have to get my car smog checked and the check engine light won't come on. In fact none of the warning lights come on when you turn the key to the on position. So that would make the smog check an automatic fail. So the real question is what do I do to get all those lights to come on?
