Is it DOA or will it start and run for a while?
If it's just DOA, the battery could have fried. Sometimes that will take out the alternator too. If it was a short circuit in the wiring, it would have probably blown fuses, and you'd still be be DOA.
If it came back to life, it sounds like a loose electrical connection.
