Car is completely dead...help!!!

okay...here are the symptoms...I turn the ignition key - no fire, no fuel pump whine, and no dummy lights. I have no horn, power windows, or headlights. Battery is good, but I suspect the propblem lie in the wiring between the battery, alternator and starter. This summer I put on headers, so perhaps they finally caused one of the smaller wires in the relay from the alt to the starter to short out.Any suggestions? please help!!! Thanks!

Check the connections from both posts on the battery to where they terminate & use a voltmeter to find the open.
