We were in an accident. Front and rear collision. It was with the repair shop for almost a month. We picked it up and while driving home, we had gone 52 miles the car started to decelerate we pulled it to the side of the road and it died. They towed it back to the collision center and then said it was out of oil. No oil light came on. No check engine light came on. They are saying that this was not caused by the collision but was just low on oil and is our fault.
Why would no lights come on to indicate a problem?

because either the wire is grounded out or the collision shop may have disconned the wire from the sending unit and not hooked it back up. see pic for location........
