As the title says, the constant hot works (dome/head/brake lights, horn, cig lighter, PDL). The switched power (everything else) doesnt. I'm heading out in a little while with the multimeter but wanted to know if there are any obvious things to look at. The truck was stuck ina drift and most of the snow is still stuck under the truck and the engine compartment, but it was turning on yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon it wouldnt and the only thing I've done since then was pull some snow of from the drivers side and replaced the clutch MC/SC. I've already tried wiggling the wires on the starter but I might have done something on the firewall or around the fuse panel (checked most of the fuses as well).

As usual, thanks in advance!
 
I'd start with the feed from the starter or up on the firewall at the junction block. or ign. switch?
 
This truck doesnt have the ignition switch anymore. The last one shorted out and burnt up so everything that was in the ign switch is on a single toggle with a push button for the starter. I've already visually checkd those connections, but still need to check with the meter.

The junction block has snow/ice packed around it. The starter is free of snow, but most of the firewall is still packed. My garage isnt big enough to get the Burb inside and since the truck wont start I cant warm it up to melt the snow. All the plastic is brittle so hopefully there isnt a connector broke in there somewhere.
