In my car it was in a collision in the airbags were deployed. the radiator in the bumper was the only thing that was damaged. I am having a problem with it being locked in anti-theft mode, but the key turns and everything I’ve got it to crank twice but it was very short cranks. it will not crank and start. And I am not getting communication from my OBD to scanner. I am getting power that is it I have checked every single fuse and all of them are good.

Hello,

This could be a case where you just need to reset your vehicle's inertia fuel cutoff switch. It should have a button on top that you just need to push down. This switch is set to open on an impact to shut off the fuel pump in case of a bad accident to keep your car from exploding. In the diagrams down below I have included a diagram of the inertia fuel cutoff switch's location which is behind the passenger side kick plate. Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
