How To Find Electrical Problem Affect Spark And Fuel Pump

I have 89 Escort trhat was in front impact accident. The car is automatic but shot off on impact. I have no power to the fuel pum and I also seem to have little or no spark from the coil. I know check the fuel shut off and it is fine. I can jump from tyhe shut off switch to the fuel pump and it pumps but does not shut off. However I still and not getting proper power from the coil. I would guess the is fuse or link that is bad somewhere but have yet to find it. I might add the rediator made contact and pinched a black and orange on alternator this wire also now has exposed wire. Any idea where I might look for problem

in the back left side under the plastic panel, there is a switch, it shuts off if you crashed against something; it is for driver security , just check if all is O.K. , then take off the plastic panel and press a small button to reactivate.then place the plastic panel in its place again, you will need to take off both plastic panels if you need to change the lamps in the tail of your car (i.e. position lights, reverse white lamps, hazard lamps) by the way, the radio is connected to an amplifier module that is under the back right side; I have some time trying to locate the wiring color of the cables that are connected to the rear speakers (going out from the amplifier not from the speakers
