Answer 1

Check the park/neutral safety switch (auto) Clutch safety switch (manual) Try putting it in "N" (auto) then try starting, make sure you depress the clutch pedal fully (manual). Check fuses, then pull starter and have it tested if OK check wiring.

Answer 2

front airbags are designed to place in in a front end collision at a preset stress or volume of deceleration without regard to motor vehicle velocity. The early structures with sensors fastened on the front of the motor vehicle might in specific cases set up in minor collisions while they actually weren't necessary. With maximum up-to-date airbag structures, it takes a considerable consequence to spark off the baggage. All airbag equipped automobiles have an on-board diagnostic device that exams the airbag device for issues every time it quite is began.

Answer 3

Check all the motor pulleys on the front of engine, if there was an accident. Hopefully, your engine isn't locked-up. Try turning it over by hand with a torque bar. Turn engine in both directions. Good Luck!!
