Default Strating Engine in Wrecked Car

Hello:

I purchased a wrecked 2004 GTO (front end collision). Both airbags deployed. When I try to start the engine, it appears as if I do not have fuel pressure. When the key is on the ‘on’ position, the instrument cluster shows an Airbag, ABS, and Fuel Gauge error and says to contact the dealer. Is there a way to start the engine without repairing the airbags and ABS? Perhaps some sort of fuel pump reset procedure?

Thanks.

Jeff

If you know the pump isnt powered, you could always wire it directly to the battery.
