Car was in a minor front end collision. The engine won't turn over since collision. It's like the computer does't recognize the key. Any thought on what it might be?

This could be a number of things but we are guessing until we check the codes. I suspect you have a pinched wiring harness but you should have some communication codes. If you do then we can track them down.

Also, let me know if you have a push button start or a turn key. Thanks.
