This sounds like you left either a ground wire off, or didn't hook power back up?

Check the fusible links, and the mega fuse on distribution box. There are 3 of these links, located on the engine, near the battery. At battery junction box fuse 111 check 40amp maxi it controls ignition switch battery feed, run and start positions.
