If you had power before and after replacing the battery you don't then go back over what you did when replacing the battery and find what you missed.

Start at the battery with a volt meter and a wiring schematic... You'll find it eventually..

Dig around in the battery box and find the small wire that you either didn't hook back up...or hooked to the negative instead of the positive...it should go to what you are calling the "main relay"...which is actually the main breaker
