Help! I Screwed Up >_<

My parents asked me to have a look at their 1991 Toyota Camry because the cabin air fan wasn't coming on. The only set of fuses I could find was in the relay box next to the battery. I told them it could be a relay, so my dad suggested that I test the relays by shorting the connection on the contact tabs. The first test went fine, but on the second test (I think it was labeled AC Fan 2) I shorted the wrong terminals. The engine shut off. When I turn the key, the lights on the dash come on and the starter turns, but the engine won't start.

What have I screwed up? Where should I start?

Also, I was testing the fuses on the battery cable and learned that the center fuse doesn't actually come out at all. So, I shattered it trying to yank it out. Why make it look exactly like the other two fuses on both sides?

If you would post your question before repair you could be saving yourself a lot of trouble
the central fuse link is attached with the screws as shown at picture at my "starter relay" sticky thread
[but ignore blue wire; your car does not have it]
check the ignition fuse; it probably blown
the main reason for blower fan is not spinning is the bad resistor [has high speed] or motor itself.
