IIRC there is an internal fuse in the immobiliser under the drivers seat.
Did you check it?

Yep. Checked that and it appeared to be good. I changed it anyway.

Ignition switch

I think you toasted your ignition switch, the only link between amp wires and the actual starting of the car would be the ignition switch, If I'm not mistaken when the inmobilizer is bad or not present the car would still crank but not start (maybe I'm wrong) but I would check the ignition switch, the contacts inside the switch are quite delicate and the little springs inside get burned easy with a short like cutting wires with the battery connected

That would be great. I'll keep my fingers crossed when I check it.
