ALWAYS disconnect the battery when working on electrical stuff.

There is a separate fuse for radio. It's inline to the rear of the fuse box.... NOT in the fuse box

Do you know what color power wire you shorted to ground? Did you cut the wire between the inline fuse and the deck, then accidentally short the wire where it was cut? What is the value of the fuse currently in the inline fuse holder? Have you checked for power to both sides of the fuse to confirm whether or not the fuse is getting power?

You might have spiked the telematics module and put it to sleep. Pull the radio fuse out overnight see if a capacitor drain will wake it back up.
