Take you meter and check for voltage on the fuses under the hood. The 120amp fuse provides power to everything in the car according to the the circuit diagram in volume 2 of the manual. That is the only common point to the power distribution. It is fed with a "Wine red wire that connects directly to the battery. On the positive side of the battery you have two connections. One goes directly to the starter and the other is the wire I am talking about.

You say the fuse is good but did you test for voltage where it plugs in ? It is a direct wire from the battery terminal to that fuse. If you dont have power there then either the wire or the connector is bad. You should be able to trace it from the battery down the harness to the fuse box....
