check your work, you probably left something unplugged or the battery may be dead.

Which plug do you think could have been unplugged to cause the radio and dash not posting?

One cable from battery goes to the starter, one to the fuse box. Did you remove the battery? Could just be broken fuses.

I removed the battery to get to the starter and made sure all those plugs were connected. I also replaced the starter relay as well.

Maybe the car battery is dead then, try charging it or putting a multimeter to the leads and testing.
