first mistake was replacing while running. never, never do this. computers hate voltage spikes. i dont see any advantage to doing this anyway

second, you blew the main fuse,hopefully, and would start there. then check all the other fuses with a test light for further damage. then keep your fingers crossed that you did not fry any of the 11 or so computers on the car
