Dear All,

I have a problem with my car, the car doesn't start anymore due to an accident. After repairing the body, the car is still not starting. I have scanned my car, the front BCM is not shown, and the engine, transmission, signal light, headlight, and all the front parts are not functioning. I have removed all the interior and the central console for checking. Any help?

Yep, that is taken apart! (Thanks for the images) I would fix all wiring and ground problems and after that let's do a CAN scan to see which systems are still not working and then fix them one at a time, also check all fuses with the systems on. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is one for about $99.00 if you need it:
