Title: Lost power 2008 S40 w/3000 miles

'Where were your fingers last?' Wiring up new rear turn signal that p.o. had eliminated. Had not made the final connection, turned on ignition switch and I had nothing. Checked the two 20 amp fuses and they're OK. Are there any others? I've got no lights front or rear, no horn, nothing. I hooked up the battery tender and the battery is more than half charged; (green light blinking) Suppose I should pull the battery and check the connections. Where should I check next please? Starter? Thank you! OOOPS! sorry about the double post

Only 2 fuses , yes check connections at battery and grounds. And check connections at starter relay and starter. Then check plugs under fuel tank , green plug is to ignition switch. Battery at 12 .8 volts , or get a new one.
If fuses are good it’s either a bad connection or bad battery.

Trying to solve problems and not having a good battery is begging for frustration and failure.

Found a green connector under the seat. Not sure how it got disconnected, but that was the ticket. Thanks to all who offered suggestions/help!
