Default '03 Civic Hybrid electrical issue?

Hey! I have an issue that cropped up after changing the valve cover gasket and spark plugs on my 2003 Honda Civic and would much appreciate some advice.
Once we put everything back together and reattached the negative terminal on the battery, 3 lights began rapidly flickering on the dash. We took the terminal loose and then put it back on and the flickering did not return. I put the key in the ignition and attempted to start it. It did not start. Additionally, the light flickering returned and I could not turn the key back to neutral to remove it until we pulled the negative terminal again. We repeated the sequence a few more times, checked electoral connectors that we had disconnected to do the repair, always getting the same result.
Any help with this issue would be appreciated!

Problem solved. Ground on engine block didn't get tightened down.
