One burnt out fuse would not account for this. You didn’t connect the battery backwards, did you? Perhaps a small wire on the positive side didn’t get reconnected? ---

Actually if he accidentally touched the cable to the wrong place or reversed polarity for even a second, he could have popped a few fuses in series (further, I’m willing to bet those fuses are in sequence, say #14, 15, 16) or as you suggested, he reversed polarity or didn’t really torque the battery cable on or perhaps there is a smaller, say a 16 gauge wire attached to the positive cable that he didn’t connect ---

The rear wiper problem seems it would be a separate issue from the gauges. Check the chassis grounding also in the area you did the work at. It may help to clean those connections also.
