I have a 2013 Lexus RX350 that was hit in the center of the hood that pushed the radiator and core support back a couple inches, may have even moved the battery tray and it doesn’t turn on. Other then the battery being dead or being disconnected what else can I look out for that can stop the car from turning on? And I mean it doesn’t go in to accessory mode or anything. No power to cluster or buttons. Thanks I know this isn’t much detail but I just want a general idea of what to look out for.
Some vehicles have an inertia switch that gets triggered in what the system perceives as a serious accident in order to shut off all power. The general theory is that this action will help to prevent the vehicle from catching fire. Perhaps the RX350 series is fitted with an inertia switch.
Your vehicle could also have had its battery cables ripped away at some point in the circuit. I would start by inspecting those cables throughout the engine bay.
