Yeah I'd start with REMOVING and cleaning the battery terminals. Then it's just a matter of checking along the circuits with a meter til you find the device that has power on one side and not the other.

Especially the grounds, I have always found grounds cause way more problems than the hot side. Make sure you have a ground from battery to radiator support or fender.
