Was there a small of burning and smoke from under the bonnet?
Have you checked the fuses?
You may just have touched something as you put the positive cable on..its generally best to put the positive on first (red) then the negative (black) ground/earth.

Check ya fuses again with a circuit tester to ya can't always see if the fuse has blown. but deffo sounds like you've blown a couple of fuses.

I'm guessing you touched a bit of metal as you put the positive on...possibly just blown a fuse or two...do you know where they are?

No, i'd rule out any other possibility first, this should take several weeks.

Is the Red cable connected to the positive side of the battery and the black cable connected to the negative side of the battery?
Does anything else work / not work? if you turn the key to ignition does anything kick in? (fuel pump, lights on dash, etc.)
Do you own and know how to operate a multimeter?

Hmm... if the imobiliser keeps blowing fuses then it would suggest there might a short on the circuit somwhere.
The imobiliser is also connected to the indicators, which would also explain why they aren't working.
I suppose it is possible you have blown up your imobiliser...?
