Default Electrical help please. I have no power whatsoever!

I have a 2000 Scram that's been sitting up for about 2 years now. Everything worked fine last time I started it up but now after installing a new battery (fully charged) and turing the key, I have absolutely zero power. I checked the ignition (key connection) for corrosion and the I've already checked the primary coil connections and cleaned them up a bit, nbut still no luck. Also cleaned up various connections on the front of the Scram. Presently locating the secondary coil to check it for a good ground. What else ecan I check? I'm thinking it must be a corroded connection somewheres as it was running fine when I last started and saved it in my outdoor building. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Check the sealed circuit breaker close to the battery if you have no power to the ignition,lights,etc. May be corroded,not making good contact. OPT

OK Update. Checked power all the way up to the ignition switch. Checked kill switch and it works great. Checked plug going into ignition switch and it tested fine. I'm pretty sure that it's the actualm ignition switch itself. Anyone know how to take apart the switch itself? Loks like it comes apart but I don't want to force it apart. Thanks.
