The car completely died after accident

After a front crash (airbags deployed)the Gle(diesel-hybrid) completely died.
There is no light in the inside or in the dash.Battery is good.No ignition.I think it could be a fuse or a relay.But if it is the pyro fuse the ignition should work.Can anybody help what is the problem? Or where can i find the bad fuse or relay?
Thanks
Bence

Not sure why there is no light on the dash but once you get that working again, generally after an accident you need to re-enable start via Xentry like so:

Hmmm, the way you confirmed the battery is functioning is by doing a voltage check? Were you able to confirm that power is indeed going through the vehicle?
There are no signs of cracks in the LCD display from the impact? Pressing on the infotainment power button doesn't turn on the infotainment side screen? The impact didn't damage any connections (didn't cause any short circuit) to either screens right? Did you confirm if there is any sound at all (like radio) without any screen functioning just to confirm it isn't just the screen not showing anything but the rest of the system work? As for the fuses, there are several, four in fact. If you look at your owner's manual, please go to page 488 and 489 and it will talk about it. Check for any blown ones.

Here is the fuse diagram I just found, courtesy of another forum member here. The diagram which is located where one of the fuse boxes are if you want to see the physical copy.

No problem, hopefully it helps you identify the fuse blown (if any). Please keep us updated.

@LBence What year and model of car do you have? In particular, does it have a 48V system or not?
Without knowing that, it's a waste of time trying to troubleshoot, since the electrics are entirely different.

Adding your car to your signature would help. Good luck.

Thanks.
The hybrid battery may have a fail-safe that prevents accidental touching of a "hot" surface after an accident, which may over-ride the attempts you've made to troubleshoot so far.
It's beyond my knowledge, but now maybe you can get more succinct help.

Now i have time to work on the gle.
It has one “pyro”fuse in the trunk.That shut off everything.Its located right side of the car next to the small 3. Battery.
It has 2 other fuse at the normal 12v battery.
One normal pyrofuse its for the diesel engine and one other its like the other in the trunk its for the hybrid system i think.The battery is located under the driver seat(left side,im from Hungary), but you have to remove the seat to see them.
