The test light helping the circuits is a clue, I would check the ground cable from the battery to the chassis and to the engine block, if one of these got pulled off during the roll over it will cause this issue. This sounds like a major electrical supply issues. Here are the major fuses and relays to look at to make sure they are good and none of the relays have fallen out, Check out the images (below). Please upload an image or a short video in your response, so I can see what's going on.
