Hope everyone is having a great Turkey day!

I was involved in a minor collision about a week and a half ago. No airbags deployed, small dent in the hood, some gouges in the bumper. At that point the stang wouldn't start (figured the fuel shut off had been engaged). My car was towed cause I was going to just let the company fixing it deal with it. Now I'm fighting the other parties insurance company (he was at fault). Went to pick my car up from the tow yard yesterday and it wouldn't start. The guy who towed it attempted to start it and was unable to few days before that. Insurance adjuster came out day before yesterday and he said he got it to turn over no problem. I went ahead and did the fuel pump reset and it still wouldn't start. Tow person charged the battery up, started just fine. It ran for a good half an hour and then was parked for the rest of the day. I went to start it up this morning, its doing the same thing. PLEASE help me. The ACC all work, engine won't turn over. I'm at my wits end!! I miss driving my car!

Will it turn over? Does the engine crank, just not start? Or does it just click?

Oface79

It just clicks. Engine doesn't turn over at all.

I wonder if you have a small electrical short somewhere draining the battery. Even though the accessories work, that doesn't mean there is enough juice left to start the car. Try a jump start and see if it starts then. If so, you either have a bad battery or a electrical drain somewhere.

Peachy. I'm wondering if there's a short somewhere...the automatic windows seem to have taken on a mind of their own. The passenger side was down this morning even though I put it up yesterday. Ugh. This has been horrible trouble thanks to the other parties insurance *cough* geico *cough* I really do appreciate your input though.

TAKE IT TO THE DEALER and have it at least looked at let the diagnosis the problem and go from tehre.

Its just frustrating cause I had ZERO problems before this fender bender.

It is most certainly an electrcal problem. Will your remote lock/unlock the doors? Do you hear the chime when you insert the key? If the answer to both is no, your battery is not holding a charge or you have a poor electrical connection. In either case have your dealer check it out. Good luck!
