Start at the beginning of the system and follow it until you loose current, guessing at the parts and just replacing them doesn't find and solve the problem, you'll have to find where you have current and track it until you no longer have current.

Definately start at the battery and work your way down the system. By no power, do you mean only to the engine systems or to anything in general (radio, anything switched). If you can come up with a method of bypassing the ignition switch to test to be sure the ignition is working properly... no switch, no power to anything not constant hot. Just my thoughts... electric work is a bear. Go through things one step at a time and check all of your grounds as you go. good luck
Thanks, Clint
