Did you disconnect the battery before welding the exhaust?

AC welding on cars with the battery connected is bad news. On older cars, you can even fry the diode bridge in the alternator. Hopefully, the fuses caught the brunt of it. Check the fuses for anything that is hot at all times, like the PCM memory, radio memory, etc.
