Default Major electrical problem...

My brother had a little accident with his '03 Z. Another car crashed in the pass. side behind the front wheel. As I was inspecting the car, i noticed there's two, what it seems to me computers, a large silver looking a small black one. Now the radio isn't functioning well, only the front driver side speakers working. The a/c isn't working good, some times it does but sometimes it just stop workin and displays -35degrees exterior temp. The pass window and powerlocks as well, sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. There's no broken wires or stripped wires.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be. (Driver side everything is working well)

PCM was affected? That'd be just my guess...........

This silver box is the PCM. Could of slightly severed some of the wires or just plain partially fried the computer. That would be my first check.

Besides your PCM their is a BCM (Body Control Module) and you may have damaged some of the wires or the module. It's probably best to take it to a dealer to analyze what's wrong.

Got a few codes, reset them. But it keep telling me 'no comm' with 'RDCM' (right door control module).
Then i disconnected the batt. and after that got the same thing, no comm.
