Default Electrical help AC/radio

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum and in need of some help. Long story short my brother was "helping" and while jump starting my 02 z06 got the cable crossed and shorted something out. Everything in the car works as it should except the AC condenser won't kick on and the radio is dead in the water. I have checked fuses and relays and can't find any that seem to be blown i was told possibly a BCM but after some reading seems like if that was the problem I would have much larger issues. I am by no means a mechanic but very mechanical, electrical is just the area that I have the least amount of knowledge in any help or place to start would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE...... went thru the car today and tested all fuses and found one for the radio that you couldn't visually tell it was burnt but it wouldn't light the bulb on the tester so chnged it and now the radio seems to be back so just down to the AC issue.

Thanks
