Damn bro, you probably blew some more fuse! You should remove the battery before removing any fuses to save yourself from shock and damage to more fuse man. Good luck.

There are two fuses coming off of the battery terminal itself.

One goes to the computer/ignition, the other goes to just about everything else.

Check them.

Take the fuse cover off and follow the diagram on the fuse cover itself to find the desired fuses. Use a voltmeter to check the fuses.

I no longer have my car, so I am going by memory. I believe the two fuses are below the boot on the battery terminal. As I recall, you can see if their is continuity by just looking at them.
