hello my friend has a 89 subaru gl wagon 4 cyc 4 wheel drive the problem is he was in a front end minor crash and it crashed in the passager side alittle as soon as the wreck happened the car died and would not start back up doesnt crank over nothing the battery tested good all fuses were check all good the hazard light come on and blink so there is power but the engine wont crank over at all is there some kind of switch that turns off the power or fuel pump or what else can i check or where is the switch located to turn back on dont have no clue why it wont even crank over thank you for your time

If the engine isn't cranking over, it's not the fuel pump that you need to worry about. Check all the battery cables, grounds, maxi fuses and fusible links.

i have done all this someone told me there is a fuel pump nurser switch that turns off the power to the fuel pump if it is involed in a crash i dont know if this is true but i cant find no switch but i guess i should just wiggle some wires around but to cause the car not to crank at all turn key and nothing what could be the main reason for this the battery is 12.57 volts when checked so the battery seems ok any other suggestions

No, it does not have an Inertia switch. Those are found on Fords only and it certainly wouldn't have anything to do with the engine cranking. Your just going to have to systematically follow a wiring diagram to find out where your losing your power but I'll bet you overlooked a fuse or fusible link.

are you talking about the dash board fuses or the fuses that are under the hood i check all the fuses inside and none are bad i pulled them all and checked but if your talking under the hood now that im not sure of how do you know if there bad i have check all the wires to make sure none are seperated but there are the fuses under the hood i am not good with cars i am just trying to help a old man that does papers for a living and he is using his truck and we all know gas prices are very high and i feel bad for him that is his only sourse of income so he fell asleep and then went off the road and hit something and well it tore his car up alittle and it wont even crank over so i did all i can just trying to see if someone has suggestions i wont stop untill i help him in anyway i can im a good guy like that so whatever any suggestions help if i have to take it all apart i dont care i just want to try the simple things first anyone that feels bad for a 70 year old man trying to live on doing papers because our goverment has failed him then im all ears thank you for your kindness

The stuff your looking for is under the hood. I don't have exact locations. When you check fuses you should be using a testlight to verify if they are even receiving power. Just looking at them isn't good enough.

>> anyone that feels bad for a 70 year old man trying to live on doing papers because our goverment has failed him<<
This isn't a forum for political complaints. The 'government' owes you nothing. Taking responsibility for yourself is the key issue. I don't feel that ANYONE owes me anything. I have, what I have, worked for and earned. No more, no less.
No help from ANYONE or any gov't. agency. I'm more than happy to help someone out, but the "poor me syndrome" just doesn't cut it with me.
As for the Subaru, (which is made in Japan) check the exciter wire going to the starter. It may have been 'knocked off' in the accident.

Look, electrical problems are not solved by mental telepathy. The circuit has to be tested by following a wiring diagram. If you don't possess the ability to do this, don't expect a magic bullet from us. Your going to have to pay someone to do it for you.
