I was in a head on collision a couple days ago. I was going 35-45 mph when I hit another car. My driver, passenger, and knee air bags deployed. My car was damaged in the front. As soon as the wreck happened, the car shut off and all the power was off except for the inside lights. They came on but was flashing. When we took the grille, bumper, and radiator off, you could see a group of wires had been smashed between the radiator support and frame of the car. We pulled it apart and checked all the wires, none of them was cut. We unhooked the battery for several hours and tried hooking it back up and the only thing that came on was the lights on the DVD player where you insert the disk. They was flashing. Nothing else would work. I do not know if there is some type of safety switch that would cut off everything or if this is a computer or electrical problem. I did not have full coverage so I am trying to repair the vehicle myself. Any suggestions or help? Thank you! Kim
 
I believe there is a failsafe in the airbag control module which prevents the car from starting. It needs to be replaced or reset. Without dealer equipment I'm not sure how to reset it.

It's not an electrical problem it's a feature/function of your car to prevent the car from running while the airbags are deployed.
 
you're seriously going to try and repair a car like that? have fun, not only will that car never be the same, but you will never have any airbags to save your life the next time you fall asleep at the wheel.
