98 windstar 3.8 problems

98 windstar 3.8 - Freind borrowed the car and it died (she said it got hit by lightning) wasnt getting gas checked fuses checked power to fuel pump, had a pump so swapped it out to see. Got gas. no spark. couldnt figure out why we had no spark changed (brand new) crank sensor, still no spark. (Junk Yard) coil pack, still no spark. (junk yard) Brain whatever u call it ECM?PCM? firewall passenger side, but the numbers werent the same but she fired right up so we thought she was good. had spark, had lights, had power, ran fine. drove her home after letting her run for half hour or so, drove to a few places on the way home just fine.  Next day battery dead, charged battery, had a drain on it, went dead again, smelt rubber burning like a short or something. The wifey let her friend take it to a certified mechanic but he started it up and the battery blew up and that was that. towed it, bought a new battery, started it, had smoke coming thru the heater vents above the radio in the center dash battery starting leaking acid. hooked up a reader, alternator was overcharging crazy (over 50 instead of the usual 14 or so),  got another alternator (autozone said the alternator was fail) no juice going back to the battery at all, fuse 19 (GEM/rap) inspected gem, seen burnt pc, replaced gem(junk yard) no smoke, runs, no juice to battery still, no headlights, no power to blower when turning heat on. fuse 19 no longer pops tho. someone has suggested wiring harness but it disapears into the dashboard..... any help would be appreiceted. have not let it run very long cus im scared lol i dont want to burn anything up.  Thanks
