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.

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 ! )
