Icon2 HELP! BATTERY FELL OVER & FRIED SOMETHING

1991 Honda Civic Si
5-speed manual transmission
1.6L SOHC

Sooooo, my battery was relocated to the trunk which has no carpet. All bare frame in the back. Battery fell over while I was driving around Sacramento, and arced the positive terminal to the frame, frying something under the dash I believe because none of the engine fuses are blown I have power going into engine fuse box & back out. Starter has power when I turn key over & when not. Ignition has power & the one wire lights up when turned over. No dash lights what so ever, no clicking, NO NOTHING! I'm no professional mechanic but I have my experience. But I'm stuck I don't know what to dig into...any help is much appreciated.

the starter relay is always one until you put the key into that spot and it send the power thru the relay/ switch and turns on the car

without it your key will not get power
umm get a diagram or more info of its location,
it will probably look messed up
