Maintenance/Repairs

We bought this Prizm with a salvage title. One part that had to be repaired was the turn signal switch on the right side of the steering column. Now, we’re having a number of electrical problems. When we turn on the headlights, the car dies. When we use the turn signals, the car dies. Before the turn signals caused the car to die, the emergency brake indicator on the dashboard would flash at the same time as the turn signal indicator. The tail lights would be on all by themselves, and when we turned on the accessories, there would be a buzzing sound from under the dashboard. We would appreciate any suggestions. We’ve already stumped one repair shop, and the fellow who did the original salvage work has had it two days with no success. Appreciate whatever you can do to advise us.
