2000 1500 wont start after accident

[Stanek22]

I have a 2000 chevy 1500. 5.3l. Got in an accident. Damage done to the front passenger side of truck. I can turn the key and all lights and radio come on. I go to start it and it doesn't even turn over.

This is a tricky one. Accidents open a lot of variables. Air bags go off? Just small fender bender? Sounds like security isn't letting start. If truck unlocks with key fob then your looking at hooking up scanner to see if computer is demanding start up. Before check fuses, battery bolts etc....

It might have a neutral safety switch which cuts off the engine upon big impact in order to avoid an explosion.

Check to see fuel is pumping and you have spark. I have heard of Ford’s having this and am thinking it’s a across the board safety item for all vehicles.
