Fried PCM?

So like a moron I plugged my ts6 position chip in with the truck running and it just died. No crazy sound no smell of wires burning and fuses look good
But it will just sit there and turn over all day with no sign of trying to start. Also no "wait to start light" comes on on the dash. Any ideas cause obviously my brain wasn't working tonight?

Not good.

No WTS lights means PCM isn't powering. Have you checked fuse 22 under the hood ?
