check your fuse links and main fuses in the fuse box. if you have no electrical it sounds like something blew.

oh god, listen. it isnt hard. by your bettery there will be a power distribution center [not sure where, dont own 240] its a black box with fuses. there will be some 1"x1" colored plastic boxes with an amperage rating on them, and a clear see-thru top. the main EFI fuseable link will probably be 40 amps. there probably will be another main @80 amps. check them, thats probably the issue.

when i said check at the battery I meant the 2 plugs that connect to the postitive battery cable. those plugs have about 3 inches of wire then another plug. those 3 inches of wire are fusable links. unplug the connector farthest from the battery and check for power at all the terminals coming from the battery. if any one does not have power you have blown your fusable link.
