Question
I have a 96 honda v6 that was in an accident , the honda rolled over. I put a new battery on it but the starter is not cranking the motor. does this honda have a roll over switch or inertial sw to kill the fuel pump? if so , where

Answer
It may have a alarm switch which is usually under the dash on the drivers side.A small black button which will override the alarm even though the alarm wasnt working i have seen this on Hondas.Check all fuses,especially the line fuse.Its a 80amp on the inner side fender.
