Minor-ish wreck, start the car?

Ommateal · 10-09-2017, 08:08 PM

Well car got ran off the highway by a semi in the rain, slid into a wall. Drivers seat airbag and window airbag deployed. Only damage is broken taillight and rear bumper is kinda goofy as well as muffer is hanging now.

How can I start the car? Is there anything special i need to do? Just unplug battery for bit? Is there some safety fuse? Etc etc. How can I start the car :/ sounds like the car cuts fuel in these kinds of events.

No one knows if there is a fuel cutoff on the Z After bags deploy?

The damage was very minor and cosmetic to the bumper area.

If nobody comes up with an answer, check the FSM (link in my sig).

I'm glad your damage is minimal. That being said, it shouldn't hurt the car to try and start it with your side airbags deployed. If you can drive it, I'd say drive it to the shop yourself. GL with the repairs! (Maybe Nismo rear conversion time?)
