Check to make sure the ground wire is getting good contact (run meter leads from + to a couple different spots on the chassis).

Check fuses.

If those are good, check that there is power to ignition switch.

I would check the batteries. Go buy a digital multimeter at Radio Shack for $15 or so (if you don't have one that is) and check the voltage of the batteries. If you have 12.5 + volts, then there is another issue. The multimeter will help you track down where your circuit is broken at.
