Did you forget to connect the battery or something? I can't imagine any mangling by the taillight would make EVERYTHING go dead.

If you were mangling by the drivers knee / fuse/ relay panel and there was a big shower of sparks you might have popped the 150A fuse (@ the + battery post), but I think you'd notice that. Guess the big fuse could have been mechanically damaged if you too the battery off it.
