Do you have a volt meter?
Check for 12 volts at your battery and at the generator. If you no longer have 12 volts at the generator, then look for a 100 - 125 amp circuit breaker near the battery or load center (in a storage compartment normally)
Did you reconnect all the wires properly?
Next time use pliers with plastic handles, or wrap electrical tape around the handles before using them near the batteries. Even the crescent wrench or any open end wrench, should be wrapped with electrical tape, so if dropped on a battery terminal it will not short out and explode the battery.
BATTERIES are dangerous! They can explode, especially the larger 8D batteries like I found in a Country coach and other larger DP motorhomes. 8D batteries can put out 2000 amps for a few seconds when a terminal shorts to another terminal.

A better solution to this problem would be to disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery then there would be no sparks flying. No blown fuses to look for and a lot safer. JMO
