alright so my car was towed from my garage running 100% perfect long story there. When I went to pick it drove fine everything seemed perfect. Drove it for atleast 30 mins, 2 different places. Parked it in the garage shit it off and went inside. Went back in the car turn the power on and the radio suddenly dies. I suddenly see and smell electrical smoke pouring out of my hood. Further investigation shows my intercooler smashed into my radiator shroud where all the wiring from the main fuse box runs. Clearly something shorted out and almost caused and electrical Fire. I still have interior light and door open chime and light on dash. Nothin else works. No start no radio nothing. 12.6 volts at battery.
Basically what I am asking is if this could have burned out my whole pcm or bcm or just the wiring.
Still doing further testing but any help on this would be great
 
You most likely blew the 100 amp fusible link in the underhood fusebox. You may have blown other fuses too. Those fuses should have protected the ECU. You'll have to repair the wiring before you replace any fuses.
