Damn. Could be that there is some kind of short in your system now. Perhaps some EMP-style action... like in the movies. Never heard of any lightning strike-related problems. Weird.

my guess is that its some loose wire. the ecu would have gotten fried by an emp before anything else, esp a relay.

cars can get hit without much problems.
