I'd start checking ground cables. Something either got unhooked or pinched/cut when the motor mounts were put in.

Grab your jumper cables. Just use 1 of them to ground the engine to the battery and see what happens. If the power comes back on with that you know for certain a ground came undone somewhere

^^ This ^^. Visually checking fuses doesn't always work. Put a meter on them to be sure.

This is your most likely culprit, IMNSHO.

I'd check the fuses/fusible links first because it's easier and there's a chance that it's the problem. IIRC, there is at least one fusible link at the battery.

Grab a copy of the FSM (link in my sig). It will have fusible link locations, trouble-shooting procedures, wiring diagrams, etc.

So I tried grounding from the engine and from the chassis, no luck there. But I have found something interesting (picture attached).

I don't think it's supposed to look like that. Is this repairable? I can't find a part number for this.
