UH-OH... Car Won't Start!

Hey guys, I got a 2007 Honda Fit.

I got a hit and run on my car front passenger side, bend the radiator support about a month and a half ago... the car ran fine, up until today.

Car won't start, the key cranks the engine but won't start, all the lights come on, the radio reset, but the car engine won't just turn on.

I'm guessing it's the battery, but some friends say it might have been from the hit and run damage on my car that I have yet to fix.


any ideas? I don't want to buy a new battery to find out it's something like the starter or something... any help would be appreciated!

1) get a scanner and read the codes; it may help to detect the electrical faults
2) this may be odd but can do something with immobilizer fuel pump cut relays that get moved at impact. Open both fuse /relay boxes and make sure each relay is pushed in receptacle.
3) check the fuses

Check the battery for a loose terminal. I know it is on the other side from where you were hit, but since your radio reset... Just a thought.
