Default Ecu possibly blown need help

The wiring on my lambda sensor has burnt out from the sensor all the way into the main loom, melted the connector plugs and luckily stopped at a join just before it reached into any more wires other then the lambda ones, it has blown the fuse in the interior fuse box. But I'm not sure if it has done anything to the ecu I've had it apart and looked at the board can't see or smell anything burnt but could it have killed it.?

If you have a check engine light with your key at ON, Means at least a part of your ECU is working! Normally a good start!

Change the lambda sensor and the burnt out wiring, refit a new fuse and give it a whirl.

It should be ok.

What fuse did it blow?

Haven't got any light on at the minute with a new fuse. It was a 20amp fuse think it was one of the middle rows couple fuses in from the front.
Some **** fitted a afr gauge and only twisted the wires and taped them up together so it created a heat coil in the wires and set light to them and obviously once the plastic had melted the wires touched together.
If the wires have shorted on each other I'm guessing there's a likely chance the ecu would have fried itself if the fuse hasn't saved it.
