I recently purchased a new 2012 fiat 500 it was hit lightly in the front end. the air bags did not deploy. The car will make no attempt at firiring it looks like someone was trying to figure it out as they have been taking various things apart. any suggestions.
thank you

Hi, and welcome to FF,
one EURO cars there is a "fire prevention system", that kills the fuel supply,
conventionally there is a reset button under passenger seal / footwell area,

( listen for fuel pump under REAR seats - as that will have to work..)
