Looking through my shop manual, nowhere is it listed that the car will not start after deployment. You sure that is the reason the car will not start?

Does it crank?

Never heard of any car not starting because of airbags. As Mad said, does it crank?

I think there is fuel pump kill switch. It goes off after an accident and cuts power to the fuel pump to prevent a fire.

I'm not 100% sure. I can't find ANYTHING about this on webtech, but I remember reading about it SOMEWHERE.

I know it sounds stupid, but check the owners manual, I think it might have been in there.

Its gotta be somewhere between the fuel pump (center of back seat) and the ECU. So its either under the drivers seat, or under the dash. I know it's not under the back seat.

After Ford's little fun adventure with the pinto, they started putting fuel cut out switches on all their cars. I think a lot of other's followed suit.

I dont think there is a switch, well not from factory.

maybe you have to look for a fuse box in the passenger side, and maybe you will find a bad fuse.
