Check where i've pointed out in arrows for fuses an dfusiblelink in both charts. You will be lucky if no electronics have been damaged. And charge battery if it will take a charge. It may be shot.

Yup most of it is in the power dist center except for the fusible links. They may run off starter or power dist center.
