I had an accident with the car, and it damaged the front right headlight, suspension and fender panel. The car flew into a small escarpment after hitting the side of a bus. It deployed the passenger curtain airbag due to the impact of landing into the escarpment. It's also being replaced. See photos attached.
The engine turned off after the accident. It couldn't start again and neither did the key fob work to even lock the doors. The hazard lights stayed on when parking at an accident yard until the battery drained.
We replaced the nosecut and it will not start yet.
The mechanic suspects the steering column lock. I got one but the part number differs. We tried it but it didn't work.
- Will a used one with the correct part number fix the no start?
- Do you think the part number doesn't matter if it physically fits?
- What kind of software reload will be needed to install a used steering column lock?
- What other components can I look at?
