first you have to find what is causing the brakes to lock up as this can cause the ABS to activate turning on the light. once this is done then you can see if the ABS light is on, if so you will have to have the code pulled from the ABS module to know what to test.

If everything else works, it's not the fuse. Does the other mirror work? If so, you probably broke a wire....

that could be the blending actuator its part vacuum powered

Look around the parking lot for another sable the same color... try your key in that one.

I went thru the same thing careful when it stalls on you starting it altot can burn out the starter/starter power wire or both. It also can catch fire. It is a vacuum leak. Have someone check all your lines to make sure there are no cracks breaks or dry rotten lines. Also check th all manifold for leaks or if its cracked because its plastic. Plus make sure your felpro gaskets are good they are orange and under the manifold

faulty switch or motor may have broken tooth on raiser

Failed Switch Broken Window Regulator Pull the door panel & start your testing

there should be a decal under the hood somewhere that shows you the belt routing diagram.

Maybe the tree you hit. Check the transmission fluid possible line leak.

Sounds like a coil breaking down. Try this for a test, get going to around 45 mph and lightly accelerate, is the is miss is reproduced then the most likely cause is the secondary ignition system. I.E plugs or wires or a coil.

It could be the shift linkage if it's a manual transmission, but most likely transmission failure.

First check trans fluid level If OK then make sure there are no problems with shift linkage. If OK then there may be internal damage to clutches also make sure trans. fluid is red and not brown and does not smell burnt. if it does then clutches are damaged, trans repair is necessary. Good Luck!
