Default O3 Cobra struck by lightning

My 03 Cobra was struck by lightning and will not start (cranks but will not run). I have taken it to the SVT dealer in Baton Rouge. My question is, has anybody had this happen and what parts did they have to change?

Well, if the bolt got into your wiring system which it sounds like it did, check all your wires and see if they are fried or not. But mainly all your fuses, battery, maybe ecu, radio, basically everything electrical. But you need to have an MECP certified mechanic test all of your stuff on your car. Sorry to hear about that man.

wow you pissed someone up there off[sm=badbadbad.gif]
but i would say it something with a fuse, not much else it could be. Track all the wiring to your fuel and sparkplugs make sure nothing in there is fried is my .2

Thanks guys for your advice, got it back today. Fried the front light harness, blew out front bulbs, blew out the fuse that runs the fuel pump (that`s why it wouldn`t start).
