If you somehow shorted to the chassis, check every fuse in the car.

That happened too me... Luckily it started up fine afterwards... Just ate a hole in my intake... Whoever decided to place the batt right there on the 4th gens needs to be kicked in the nuts!

I think Honda engineers would line up to kick you in the nuts for installing a metal aftermarket intake and allowing it to short the battery to ground.
