Does the car crank over on the starter motor?

Does it click, or do anything?

Is it a stick or an automatic?

S or Justa?

Why did you replace the fuse panel?

Try using a different battery (or test yours, just trickle charging a dieing battery isn't going to do much).

Now it's time to go back and check out the fuse box you said you've replaced. Make sure everything is hooked up correctly.

Sorry you messed with wiring, that's not what I consider fun when working on cars. :(
