Default Stratus 2004 2.4 does not start after accident

hello. sorry for my english. I do not speak English

I have Dodge Stratus 2004 2.4 st.

Got in an accident. not much ( the engine does not hurt ), but the airbag has been deployed. Now I can not start the car. not working fuel pump and starter. the rest of the electrics work fine.

Does have this car mechanism that shuts off the fuel in an accident? if yes, how deactivate this mechanism and start my car?

Welcome to the forum. If I understand you correctly, you are saying the starter does not work, meaning it does not turn the engine over? If that is so, then it is something else besides the fuel pump inertia switch being tripped.

Sounds like he isnt getting any fuel. I would check all fuses, and while doing that, unhook the battery to see if the car would reset itself if maybe it did somehow have a fuel cut safety, though its unlikely.

yes

starter should work anyway? if it does not work then the damaged car electrical system?

Somehow yes. Check fuses, battery connections, condition of the battery, etc.
