Unhappy wiring mess...

so my 78 ford bronco has had an electrical drain in it for quite some time. im not suprised since i had about 6-7 different add on auxilary parts (fog lights, back up lights, sub, alarm, underlights, etc). So, i decided to take all of these accessories out since i rarely used them in the first place. Now the truck is pretty striped down of its auxilary electrics, but i must have taken out or accidentally snipped an extra wire because now i have no power to anything, no headlights, ignition, NOTHING! Basically, in trying to remedy one problem, I've created another. I have been testing connections with a simple tester, also all of my fuses seem fine. Are there any in-line fuses (separate from the box under the dash)? Where do i go from here?

If you have no power then start at the battery and test towards the firewall/dash. Check all of your fuseable links coming from your battery.
