Exactly what does it do when you try to start it? Based on what you posted I'm thinking that there is a harness that was knocked loose or more likely cut that is now causing a problem. Very common for them to be damaged but missed during the repair if they are not in the immediate damage area. Testing can usually find it, but I would say to take it to the shop that repaired it first, it should have been repaired then and they will have an idea of where the damage might be.
