How do you reset the fuel cut after a crash?

Post by Smoothinto2nd »

My car was it while parked and won't start now. They keys seem to do nothing. Is there a fuel or power cut on our cars that can be re set?

Thanks.

I've never heard of such a thing on these cars. Where was it hit? Probably damaged something. You may want to mention what year/model your car is and give some more information so we're not feeling around in the dark.

Was the battery jolted around from impact causing a bad/broken connection?Is the battery dead?

Does ur starter make any noise when u try to start it or does the key realy do nothing. Also maybe they broke ur fuel pump or discconected it some how.

yep it was the battery... The car's never had an issue with sitting (have left it over a month) so I figured when it wouldn't do a thing after two weeks it was some sort of safety cut. I just jumped it and it started right up. The dome light came on to. The sensor for an open door on the right rear is stuck open so the battery must have drained in the week and a half it was sitting in the tow yard. Dumb mistake, should have covered my basics before asking.

Hey, I've done worse, not checking fuses before declaring they were good (I didn't see any burnt ones and failed to realize the culprit was missing entirely) among other things.
