My wife hit a deer dead center damaged hood, grill, tilted radiator. She drove car home about 2 miles and stop car in driveway. Now it will not start. Power to all dash lights. No power to radio, cabin blower, horn. All fuses appear to be ok and battery has a full charge. When I used engine monitor no codes appear. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. The car is a 2004 Camry.

My diagnosis would start with a scan of computer codes. Absent the ability for that....I would suggest a thorough under hood inspection looking for any damage to the wiring. I would also check under hood fuses with a Test Light or Digital Volt Meter. Is the Engine CRANKING over well.....like the battery and starter are good?
