Think the battery is dead. It is possible that the accident caused some damage to the wiring so that when you shut it down, the battery is being discharged. Get battery charged and car running. then with car totally off hook up ammeter to battery and look for current draw. Then start removing fuses till you come across the circuit responsible for the draw and further troubleshoot that circuit for the offender. Till you find it leave fuse out so you can start car a few days later.

Make sure that a light in the trunk or glovebox or under the hood is not sticking in the on position causing a parasitic drain.

does not have one. the sock in tank is actually the filter but they say you dont need to change it

Suspect a blend door motor/actuator not working properly. These doors control hot/cold as well as air flow direction. It may be an electrical or vacuum problem or even a defective motor/actuator causing this problem. In some cases the ducting can come loose that caries the airflow to the vents especially if there was an aftermarket stereo/alarm/remote start has been added as it may have been disturbed during installation. You may want a pro to look at the system as it can be complicated to diagnose

bad starter solenoid

Maybe the relay is defective. Check it. Or something's wrong with the wire connections.

I keep saying, electrical faults should be dealt with a qualified, experienced auto electrician. I can fix an engine, do a bit of bodywork but I am not a trained auto electrician. If you offered me the job because I might be able to earn some money but there is no guarantee I could get to the bottom of the problem. Take your to a competent auto electrician who is familiar with your make and model and you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Horses for courses. Good Luck with it

posible your proble are on the harness betwen door and the body

Once again someone post something that he has no clue about, you could do a little research on the subject ! There is no serpentine belt or power steering fluid because this vehicle has The electric power steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, EPS motor, serial data bus, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center to perform the system functions. The PSCM, torque sensor, not the EPS motor are serviced separately from each other or from the steering column. Any EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly. Do you have a EPS light lit on the instrument cluster or message center to display PWR STR (or Power Steering) warning message ? GM had a recall on these !

The only way it will get in when it rains is the windscreen is leaking form not sealing properly.

check the drain hose and internal drain for the ac as if the gunk builds up inside the ac box the condensation will over flow into the cabin

Sounds like a bad connection at the battery terminals, or a low battery.

3 way

That might help you did it work before you change the switch recheck if you didnt forget to hook up some connector to the door luck actuator

The procedure is in the owners manual, but it is not easy. You need to turn the wheels in (to right for drivers side) and then shut car off. Then you will need to loosen the inside front wheel well, which is plastic, until you can bend it out of the way enough to reach inside to the bulb. The bulb twists out with a 1/4 turn to the left and then unplugs. Just a hint, make sure that the gasket comes out with the bulb and that you only use one when you reinstall the new bulb. If you need to replace the fog lights, that bulb is replaced the same way.
