back story......son had a traffic accident damaging the right front quarter, control arm, wheel and front bumper. Replaced the control arm, strut, and body parts. Car started and drove above 2 miles before stopping. Would not start back. Removed battery and replaced with new one because car had been sitting months during repairs.
Car drove to the house and stopped in the drive. Will not start back.

Push the start button, all dash lights illuminate and it completes the system check. Radio will not play. Navigation screen is black. Fuel pump humms, and a small single click can be heard coming from the glove compartment area. Car ran great prior to my son hitting the ditch. Alternator was replaced about a year before the accident.

Any and all help would be appreciated. Seems the issue is from the traffic accident jarring something lose, possible a ground???

 

you could try to make sure there’s still the ground cable going from the mid-front of the side of the engine block to the chassis near the passenger side front shock mount area?

there’s another ground to check that is right in front of the silver grey colored heat sink on the passenger side front shock mount area, where the air box bolts onto.

also could make sure the main engine ground is connected from the battery, it just goes straight down into the abyss and you should see it clearly if the battery is completely taken out of the engine bay.

if you have trouble finding the very first engine block to ground cable/wire I mentioned, there is an equally symmetric cable on the drivers side of the engine. It may help you be able to locate it since the passenger one I believe runs under the intake tube.
