Wiring HELP!

I broke a starter bolt and it took me some time to extract the broken stud... ANYWAY, when I got the correct bolt in, my battery was DEAD. I replaced the battery and now I have NO power. No ignition, no lights, NOTHING.
All the wiring looks ok, but I DID FIND a rodents nest on the motor mount- any ideas on how to track down the problem??

You will need to Pearce the wire with a safety pin and make sure it doesn’t ground but check power on each side of the fusible links at the starter.

Re: Wiring HELP!

If the starter was painted,..... you might not be getting a good ground. (Strip the paint from the mating surfaces and you will be G-T-G ! )
