Changed my battery cable end now when I turn my key on in my car nothing happens. No dash indicator lights, no radio, can't even roll up my windows. Just a blinking anti theft light.

Did you have any sparks when you did the job? is there a chance the cables got reversed for a second? If not it sounds like you still have a bad connection. I would recheck your work and remove any corrosion that is present. I have also seen where you must replace the battery cable because the corrosion travels down the cable internally.
