check your main fuses above the battery, sounds like you may have blown one if it has no power at all...

The battery fuse i believe is one of the big ones held down by two screws. Right way to test it is to see if it has continuity with an ohm meter. Easy way to test is see if the piece of metal is seperated through the window on the top. They are like 3 bucks to replace them.
