So first off i hit a curb, no good story. it was partly my fault for panicking but for the record another car caused the whole situation. So now When i drive i hear a groaning sound once and a while. A lot more when i reverse. No good, ideas?

Secondly my battery is continuously getting drained. What the hell, not the alternator and its a new battery. I have a deck i recently put in and the Antenna Auto/on wire isnt conected. My seat belt motor doesnt catch and im drones for a few minutes when i open and close my door, seatbelt light always blinks. Ideas where to start looking? I have a tester for the fuses but i dont know how the hell to use it. This really started after i hit the curb as well.

There's something that's constantly on. Look for functionality for something that should be off when the car is off.

Your seatbelt light always blinks, what car do you have? It'll have something to do with the switch that's either in the automatic seatbelts or in the switch that's by your butt in the clip retaining part or in the seatbelt controller unit.
