So.. i hit a deer with my charger and when it happened, i lost all brakes due to the ABS Control Module being destroyed. i have replaced everything mechanically but the car will not start. it acts like it doesnt know im pressing the brake pedal. i try to start but when i press the push button start, instead of going to run it goes to ACC and still tells me to press brake pedal on the display... i know the ABS control module has to mated to the computer at a shop but the dealer tells me that the car should still start. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Im at a loss and out of ideas. please help! i want my baby back!

Do the brake lights illuminate when it goes into ACC when you attempt to start? If not, then perhaps the brake switch was broken on the pedal when you hit the deer too.

I didn't think about that. I'm checking that right now. Hopefully that's the problem because we are seriously out of ideas and I was just about to call the tow truck to take to a dealer.. I know it's gonna have to go to a dealer eventually for the new ABS Control Module but I'm hoping to drive it there instead of tow lol..

So there is no brake lights coming on. I got down under the pedal and found the connector for the switch and it looks fine to me. I unplugged it, Plugged it back in. Everything is fine. But still will not start. Going to check fuses now. Hmm...

Problem solved. I feel stupid. All it was the main connector going into abs unit wasn't in all the way.. She is purring again. Thanks for the help though!
