I was in an accident a couple days ago. The driver in front of me suddenly hit her brakes and I slammed into her back end; my car wouldn’t start after I hit the other car, so I was stuck in the road until the tow truck came. After my car was dropped off at my parent’s house my father and I looked at it. The damage seems to be mostly cosmetic from what we could see, but my car still won’t start and we can’t figure out why. Since we couldn’t see any crunched or broken parts (other than my headlight)we thought maybe the computer just needed to be restarted. It didn’t work; car still won’t start.
My car is a 1991 Honda Accord. The damage is the left front where my headlight used to be.
I have 2 kids that have things going on that I need to get them to, but my car is the only transportation we have. We live out where buses don’t run. If anyone can help me figure out the problem it would be greatly appreciated. I am also attaching pictures that I took of the damage right after the accident.

Your advice is absolutely welcomed, that was the whole point of me asking for help 🙂
I think I might have found someone that works on vehicles that can take a look at my car, and fix it for cheaper than taking it to a shop would cost. If he’s able to figure out the problem I’ll post it; if not, well I suppose I will just have to figure out a way to pay for a shop visit….or a new car.Take all the broken light bulbs out of the sockets first. They may be shortening entire system. Seriously.

Not likely. Those circuits are separate from the main fuse and after it. The problem described is the main fuse blowing. For that to happen, it’s one of the major connections in the system, either something with the main battery cable or wiring to the alternator or starter. Those would be the most likely causes and where I’d begin my search.
