Won't start or crank after wreck.

Is there a way to get this car to crank and start? It crashed into something and deployed the airbags. Now, it won't crank or start..2007 Chevy Cobalt v-6 w/automatic tranny. No voltage in fuse panel by fuel pump relay and start/run relay. Any ideas will be appreciated.........Thanks...Gary

This is probably a safety. no explosion, shut down. check to make sure no wires were cut/damaged and look in the trunk for an emergency shut off. there might also be a shut down relay onboard. if there is it's under the hood in the relay box.

If airbags deploy after wreck 2011 camaro and i got it rebuilt but it wont crank is it a switch or something to reset

FRONT OR REAR GOT HIT?
it is not a FORD nor MAZDA CAR
CHEV CAMARO
WHY YOU FAILED TO DO IS SCAN THE PCM/ SRS SYSTEMS
AIR BAG LAMP ON, (DASH)SRS?
THE SERVICE MANUAL COVERS ALL THIS.
IF THE SRS TRIPPED THE PCM SEE THAT CAN CUTS FUEL.
SO THERE IS NO FUEL FIRE AFTER ANY CRASH.

https://eautorepair.net/Marketing/Default.asp

TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK THE TAIL BRAKE LAMPS MUST WORK
AND FUSE F33UA ,UNDER HOOD BLOWN.
BCM CAN BLOCK THE SHIFT LOCKOUT SOLENOIDS\
THE BCM SEES BRAKES DEAD.?(TAIL LAMPS)
The driver must press the brake pedal before moving the park lever out of the PARK position



CHECK ALL FUSES ,SKIP NON, NO TOOLS NEEDED A FREE TEST DIY.
THEN
SCAN IT. Obd2 AND SRS BOTH;.

MY GUESS SOME OF THE PROBLEMS IS JUST BLOWN FUSES
BUT NOT ALL

OTHERS POSTED MANY TIMES THIS.

If you are replacing the air bags, you should replace the front left and right crash sensors, the spiral cable under the steering wheel, AND the center air bag sensor, which is in front of the console. If your car has seat-belt pretensioners and force limiters, you may have to replace them also. You will know this if the seat belts are " STUCK locked up". If you do not replace all of the parts, you may get a air-bag code, and the air bags may not deploy next time.
AND
You triggered the impact sensor.(usually on or near the front bumper) It will need to be re-set or replaced, and obviously, you need to replace airbag.
CAR 2012 HAS SIDE IMPACT SENSORS TOO;.
6 AIR BAGS IT HAS. AND BELT SENSORS TOO THAT CAN TRIP
AND 4 impact sensors
NOT SCANNING FIRST (AFTER FUSES) IS THE PROBLEM HERE


JUST SCAN THE SRS SYSTEM. IS THE SIMPLE ANSWER
SEE THESE (SOME) HUGE DTC ERRORS POSSIBLE, SCAN IT.
DTC B0012 or B0013
DTC B0014, B0021, B0031, or B0038
DTC B0015, B001A, B001B, or B0022
DTC B0016, B0018, B0023, or B0025

Airbags have deployed. Car will not crank

What is the reason for the deployment of the airbags , did you hit the car or they open with no reason. If you hit the car there is fail safe mechanism to stop the engine automatically.

Srs light 03 accent

Was the car wrecked? If so did airbags deploy? If so any time a airbag deploy srs module must be replace. It is possible something spilled on it .

Won't start after airbags deployed? (NOT inertia switch)

Assuming the pump has not died, you should be able to jumper the pump relay.
The lite blue and orange wire should be power from the fuse, and the dark green and yellow wire should go to the inertia switch then to the pump.

2007 Kia Sportage won't turn over - fixing after being in an accident - Car and key light is on - does the air bag have to be replaced before it works?

I would think the engine would crank and start with the airbag deployed.
I would check for voltage at the starter, the neutral safety switch, and the key switch.
You might have to get a shop manual to trace the starter circuits.

I hit a deer and airbag didn't deploy but airbag light is on. I did smell a burning smell that the owners manual said would accompany airbag deployment. Could my airbags pop out at any moment and is it...

Are you sure the smell was not deer meat on the radiator?
No one can honestly say its safe to drive and that an airbag won't suddenly deploy. Best thing to do is have it scanned to see why the light is on. Most shops will have a scanner that should work for this (save you the high cost of a dealer). The light may just be on because there is crash data stored in the SRS module and it may need be replaced.

Front impact crash & airbag did not diploy

Airbags have specific criteria for deployment that determines whether impact was severe enough to deploy bags or whether only 1 stage deployment is needed or may decide impact was minor enough that deployment of airbags could potentially be more dangerous than the actual impact. For instance I was on the expressway last year going 65mph and someone rear ended me at over 100mph. Totaled my Ford Focus, her airbag did not deploy. Over certain speeds depending on the vehicle calibration, and airbag should never deploy. With an impact under a designated speed or over a designated speed a deployment can be dangerous. As long as your airbag light was not on before the crash I'd say your system was working properly and did not malfunction. If your airbag light ever comes on just keep in mind that any airbag malfunction will disable the system and turn on the light
