airbags deployed now wont start (00 model)
Im going to look at a 2000 XJ that was hit in the rear quarter and deployed the air bags.
Owner says it will turn over fine but wont crank now. It took a hard lick from the pictures.
Is there any kind of cut out relay or reset that would not allow the engine to crank after airbags have been deployed?

It is possible the fuel pump lost power to it if the accident was severe enough.
But i think your right about a shutoff associated with an airbag deployment. Fuel shutoff valve?
