Check your screen name & get out the Gatorade.
The symptoms you describe would lead me to the mega-fuse. Have you checked/replaced that?
You getting any lights, bells, or anything when you open the car? Turn the ignition key? Any dash lights? If lights come on, what happens to the dash lights when you turn the key?
Also, I had some difficulty with the battery ground cable in my '99 Contour Duratec. Once I replaced that cable the thing ran like a champ. Seems the connector itself at the engine ground was poorly secured to the cable & corroded over time. Torquing down the nut at the block ground didn't help because the connection at the cable was faulty, not the connection at the block. (Hope I explained that clearly ...)
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
