Default electrical problems

kay so my car is a 91 civic ex

problem#1-
i was driving and i get off to go eat i get back in the car and i go to turn the key and nothing, the radio turns off when i turn the key but nothing happeneds the starter doesnt crank nothing, i was told this was the main relay but im not sure

problem#2-
kay then since i didnt know what to do i push start the car home then i left it outside my house for a night but before i went inside i took the face off my newly installed radio and when i go back in the morning to install it again so i can listen to some music while i clean the car and the battery was completely drained, i later took out the radio to see and the wireing behind the radio was so horrible i have to take pics to show it im guessing thats where the short circuit is taking place but idk?

If your main relay was bad then the car would not push start it control the fuel pump. It sounds like your battery was so dead that it wouldn't engage the starter. You need to find out what is going on with that short.
