You probably blew the 80 amp fuse in the fuse box by the battery, if so that will kill the power to everything. If thats the case that fuse is bolted in, unclip the fuse holder and pull it out from the bottom of the fuse box, remove the bolts holding the fuse in place and remove the old fuse. Put back together in the reverse order.
