Hi,
Well, my sprinter that was in an accident was been fully repaired (well - almost). Here is the link to the accidnet thread.

Anyway, the shop finally has it all put back together with fluids and so on, but they can't get it started - When I say that, what I mean is that they can't get anything to happen when trying to start it. Battery is fine and so on. I'm guessing that there is something that needs to be reset in the computer system that will allow the van to start up again. After the original accident, the sprinter shut itself down. There were no airbags in the original accident, but it did get into the radiator and so on and coolant was lost there. All of that is fixed now. It has been some time since the original accident and there was no battery in the vehicle for a good portion of that time, but it is all back together now.
Van is a 2006 2500 140" passenger wagon.
Part of the issue is that the van has been fixed by a body shop, but they are not a Dodge dealer and are not really that familiar with Sprinters per se. The van could be towed down to a Dodge dealer, but before that happens, I'm looking for some guidance so we don't end up on a wild goose chase.
So, if you have some leads on what may need to be looked at and reset I would appreciate that. Complicating thngs is that the van is down in TX and I am up here in MN. So, if there is anybody in the Houston or just North of there area that could help me out, that would be even better.
Thanks once again for your help, Chris
