Default Electrical Problem Please Help!

Ok so i put a new motor in my car blah blah blah. Reset the TDC cause it was off and wouldnt start. One of my buddies touched the battery terminals together on accident and now i have a short somewhere. and wont start the car, it actually set my engine ground on fire/burnt up. So i went through and disconnected my whole wiring harness and still had a short. then ripped out the ECU and still had one. I started taking my battery wire out from the trunk and seen that where i had to fuse the 2 wires together had been fried off. Long story short i found the short in the circuit. In the underhood fusebox with a test light if you touch the fuses they should come up positive. My left and right headlight and abs fuse are grounded??? Im stumped right now and could use some help, if this has happened to anyone or anything let me know. im not the best with electrical. and my battery is in the trunk. when they touched them they blew my + wire apart where i had to fuse 2 wires together to make it reach the trunk grounding it out in my backseat. now when you test the 20 amp headlight fuses in the fusebox they are grounding instead of being "hot" or +. and my 7.5 amp abs fuse right above it is grounding out.

when the ground wire on my timing belt side set on fire/smoked up it burnt out the abs wire.
so now my battery ground is hot or +. i unplugged my ecu and my whole wiring harness and its still there. im thinking it possibley my fusebox? any help would be greatt
