I was able to fix my car, and the problem was that behind the front left fender, there is a sensor located there. It happens that one of the wire cut and was short-circuiting the power distribution to prevent brainbox damage the car won't crank. If you ever had hit at the front big or small, you might want to take a look there. It is a fail-safe for these cars. My mechanic had reset it, and all was good. Also, your battery might look good, but it may be dead I had to change the 12v battery too
