cayenne won't start, absolutely no power!?

Hi,
I have just bought an accident damaged 2003 Cayenne, it's not to bad although both the drivers and passenger aibags have both gone off. My problem is that I can't get any power to the instrument cluster apart from a faint back light on the computer screen in the middle of the cluster. Also, there are a few other lights coming on for example, the interior light and the key fob locks and unlocks the car, but nothing on the cluster and no sign of anything apart from the odd relay clicking when I turn the key in the ignition.
I have had an auto electrician out to it and he has suggested that it needs to go to a porsche specialist, the problem is that apart from getting the car to them is that I can't get one to even look at it. So I'm really really stuck with this now, I have checked all the fuses and all are fine and I have pressed the yellow reset button next to the battery, I've looked for any obvious signs of damage to the ecu's under the driverside of the dash and under the bonnet and they all look fine. But still no power.
So, I am really hoping that someone can maybe point me in the right direction of either where to look or if you know what module would cause this fault?? or if anyone knows a mobile Porsche auto electrician??
Many thanks in advance, and ANY advice you can offer will be most appreciated.
Anthony.
P.s. Just as a note I think the steering column has been broke as it's not hold the wheel it's just clicking.
 
Had a very similar problem recently, jump started it and had to get a new battery
