Rover metro electrically dead

Hello all,
I am putting my G reg GTI back together.
It has been to a body shop that cut the wires to the door so that they could take it off
and they cut the loom down the passenger side just before the fuel pump connections.
its been tricky putting it back together as I did not take it apart...
I re-fitted the dash, and spliced in a new section of loom for the rear of the car - checking plugs / cable colours matched etc.
I put a new battery on - and started to check things - sidelights worked and when the ign was put on - the dip dim worked. all the lights worked - the wipers
all bar the horn and then when I flashed the main beam- there was a pop sound.
now - I have no power to any thing
I can turn the ign key and the ignition & oil light comes on - but nothing else works..
I have checked the four big fuses by the battery and I have pulled out all the fuse box fuses and checked that they are intact.
does anyone have an idea of what to look at next?
Pulling my hair out as its been a long time to get to this point...
any help gratefully received
Shaun
