Default Car Won't Start?

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum so I don't know if this is the right section to post in but hopefully it is.

So onto the problem. I recently came back from a week away with some friends and left my 01 civic si at home and when I came back and tried to start it no lights came showed up on my cluster. I thought it was the battery that was dead, maybe I left a light on or something? So I tried boosting it. Oddly enough, when I put the key in the ignition same thing happened. So I went to check the connections and my friend accidentally mixed the wires. So he hooked up the + and - on mine correctly but on his car he put the + where the - should have been and vise versa. When we corrected the problem the same thing happened, no lights on my cluster or anything. I'm kinda stuck. I don't know whether or not I should replace the battery, since it's a bit old, or did I blow a fuse? Any help would be good guys. Thanks

What does the main fuse look like? Sorry I'm such a noob. I've located the fuse box under the hood but I don't know which one is which.

Sounds like the first issue is main relay.after hooking up the jumpers backwards,probably popped the other main fuse in the engine compartment.
