After hours of frustration I usually remember to check the basics. Personally, I am wiring challenged and have found that I should start looking in the last place first --- the ground. Whether the ground is a wire, screw or bolt it may be corroded. Next I check for any other connectors being corroded or broken. It is easier if you have a simple tester to check continuity.
