Default The Capri Saga

so problems are ongoing...
Help me get this bych to start.

First...I had power to all accesories but had some starting issues. New battery and changed starter solenoid...car started right up. everything seemed fine. Now there is absolutley no power to anything, no lights..led/clock..not even the horn. I changed the ignition switch expecting that to resolve the problem...still no power.

So, any ideas what to check next? I see no missing or loose wires anywhere.

I know you have a new battery, but in my 250 one time I go to start it and heard a click and EVERYTHING went dead, found out it was the battery. Maybe theres a drain from somewheres or a bad battery to begin with....Ive had amps go bad and all of the sudden create a drain and killed my batterys...
