Salvage 2002 LS1 won't start

I've just acquired (today!) a 2002 Trans Am with an LS1 and 6-spd manual trans. The vehicle was hit in the driver’s side front and both air bags deployed. The engine compartment was untouched and I have the keys.

I've charged the battery and it appears adequate. The power to the dash comes-on and the air bag & check engine lights come on. When I turn the key to the start position nothing happens. No solenoid click, no power disruption, nothing. I've tried with the trans in gear, in neutral, clutch to the floor, still nothing.

As the air bags deployed, is there a reset that is needed to allow for a starting?

Thanks in advance.

Check your connections and ground wires.check if there is a fuse blown.buy a manual at autozone,lots of good wire diagrams in there.oh and check the wire harness is not cut/damaged.hang in there.
