Ford Ka 97 will not start after hitting a speed bump
Good morning, everyone.
I'd like to ask for your help with a recent problem with my KAr.
Yesterday i went over a speedbump with over 100km/h. The engine cut off instantly and never started again. When i turn the key all the lights come on, almost everything works (wipers, headlights, radio etc.) but when i turn the key further to actually start the engine, nothing happens. No fuel pump whirring, no engine turnover. I tried to start it pushed - no luck. I connected the starter coil directly to battery +; the engine turned over but did not start.
I'd like to mention that it's not the shock switch (or cut-off switch), with the red button; already checked that. Also, all the fuses are ok.
Anybody have any ideea ?
Thank you.

Yes; one short thick wire from battery clamp to car body, on the right, looking at engine and the thicker black cable from the battery clamp to one of the bolts that hold the starter onto the engine block. They are both ok.
Is it possible that the ECU somehow sensed the shock and registered some error and it's waiting for me to clear it ?
