I think the pic doesn't work because it's linked to a verizon wireless account and we can't access your account
1st, tell us why you would disconnect the terminals from the fuse box. Why not disconnect the battery if you needed to remove electric power?
2nd, did you check all fuses?
3rd, did you test the battery for power? did you contact the terminals to anything or had something on that could have drained the battery? I believe we probably have a fuse box up under the dash also so if you left something on that was dependent on that fuse box and had the battery connected, it could have drained the battery
Also, if you have power to the guages, try to put the windows up or down. if they run slow or can't, I say battery is dead

I did notice now that the back hatch will not open with hatch release.
I am stumped.

There is no negative post to the under hood fuse box, that is the power to the power steering motor. You probably shorted something out by flopping the live positive cables around a whole lot of grounds, like everything metal under the hood.

When you tried to jump at the terminals did you hook up the negative cable to the rear post on the fuse box? Like said above this is not a ground. You want to use the strut bolt that is labels "ground". You will also need to replace your powersteering fuse now as you probably blew it when trying to jump start the car.

I may not be the brightest star in the sky, but when i jumped it i used the battery in the back......
So, Donbrew, thanks for the insightful reply, and suggestions that might actually help me? I have already beat myself up enough.

I agree with above
I would charge battery make sure batteryy
Conections are clean and tight if thst does not work
Then bring battery in to local auto store and have tested probably dead.
But as mentioned above check your fusest
