Default EK wont start, HELP!!

I have a 97 honda civic coupe with a 99 gsr swap. Up until recently the car worked fine but the other day when I tried to start it nothing happened. The accesories wont even work. I tried jumping it and swapping out the battery as well. I also changed the battery terminals because they looked old and I checked the fuses and grounds and everything checked out good. Anyone know what can possibly be the problem? Everything I find is on cars that will crank but wont turn over. This has the symptoms of a dead battery but its not. I did lock the keys in the car and they were stuck in the ignition for a while. Would that have ruined something?

sounds like your main fuse is blown. when your main fuse is blown its same thing is a dead battery check up 40 amp main fuse if u haven't

unless you have done any type of wire work or short out the car by touching some thing then all i can think of is your 40 amp fuse.

It looks a little corroded but not blown. Is that all it would take?
