As Davidwruth stated, with a meter, you should start at the battery and work outwards. Additionally, there is a 30 Amp breaker located in front of your rear tire splash guard. These breakers are not waterproof and over the years will corrode. Ignition switches on the console also often fail.

The 30 amp breaker is a small metal device with two terminal post, one copper in color and the other silver. On the silver post connects the Voltage Regulator output wire and a wire to the ignition switch. On the copper post, is a wire leading to a terminal on the starter which the positive battery cable is also connected. This breaker is an inexpensive item and I replace mine every 2 years just as a maintenance item. Don't know if this breaker is the cause of your problem but I recommend replacing it anyway.
