due to failure of the heat shield (missing or rusted out) the cat must have ignited the undercoating or the main wire harness. The harness is likely toast and thats why things have shorted. Maybe the cat clogged and thats why it went nuclear. The wire insulation is bare or wires have melted together. I would try the insurance angle for sure, given the cost of replacing and testing all involved in the harness. You may be able to elect where you want the work done, but i don't know how flexible the ins. co. is. I'm glad it didn't cook completely, but still a major bummer. good luck
