Usually one of the main fuses or fusible links goes, or if you're really unlucky something electronic gets fried.
When you say doesn't start do you mean doesn't turn over or just doesn't fire up.

i would hope there are inline fuses along the way (or fried "replacable " wires )
i know my 81 celica had some.
but thanks, i will call him later tomarrow and see if he figured it out yet.

Friend of mine runs an auto shop in a tech program, at a college, and a student did this the other day. On a 93 Camary, last i heard he had blown the battery and possibly the ignition/igniter module. After they replaced the battary the car would start and run for about a minute then die. he thought it was the ignition module was shorted and was overheating.
