It does sound like you blew the main battery fuse on the car. IT is located in a fuse box in the engine bay, most likely near the top of one of the shock towers. I once blew the battery fuse on my old 89 civic, long story but the same as you i was in a rush. Try looking at that fuse, and check the others within that fuse box. Hope this helps

battery problems
all i have to say is HAHA!!!! its the fuse under the hood...buddy of mine did it to his too... easy fix...takes like 5 minutes...make sure when u do it to disconnect battery, then hook it back up after the fuse is installed...make sure u got pos to pos and neg to neg this time...
