Pop the cover off of the realy box under the hood and check the fuseable links. You probably burned one out with that oppsy

Does anything at all work - headlights, etc.? If no, it's probably just the fusible link as mentioned above.

The 100 amp fuse was toast,,, Tried to remove it.
NO luck, finaly broke it up to be able to pinch the fuse wire together..
Had a bit of buzzing with the ecu & engine fuses.
tapping them got rid of the buzzing,,,
BUT,,still no indication of power no dash, interior, exterior lights..
next suggestion

Maybe this isn't the best place here to post a situation like this. It is possible that those with the most knowledge and help do not frequent the "misc" portion as much as the "electrical" one.

1) Open hood
2) remove radiator cap
3) drive a Subaru Legacy under the cap
4) install Radiator cap
Problem solved

The main fuse may be bolted in. I had an issue like this in an RX7 and was pulling on the fuse for a while before i noticed two covers for some 10mm bolts attaching the battery main to the fuse box.
SOLVED
