Just shut off

My 2001 f250 7.3 was running then just shut off like I had turned the key off, While trying to start back up, the truck turns over fine but no fire. I also have no gauges, I tested both fuse boxes and the one under the hood I have power on all big fuses, including the PCM but some of the small ones I don't, No power to the PCM diode, either side, the fuse box inside the cab, I have half power, No power to the PCM fuse is their a fusible link somewhere? I really can't see much down there. The truck did get into a accident in Oct, which created a problem with the ignition and not sure if that could be a problem? That problem is, when I turn the vehicle off, it would stay running for a few seconds. I ignored the problem cause it didn't hinder the vehicle any. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much..

It's usually the most obvious solution - I would start with the ignition since its been a known problem and she shut off as if you turned the key off.

Not sure to start there? I don't have power to the fuse box, either side of the fuse even if the key is on or off. I do have power to the ignition though.

If the fuse box isn't getting power at all or partially and the ignition was being difficult before I would make sure it's feeding power out to everything else. Sounds to me like that's the issue.

Is the wait to start light coming on? Did you check the fuel bowl heater fuse? With all the other things like not shutting off not sure if this is it but worth a try.
