 Did you clean the terminals in the fuse box well? Changing the fuses will not help if corroded and dirty terminals is the real problem.

I discovered the problem while tracing the voltage with a multimeter. When I was measuring on the terminals, things would work, when I let go they didn't... You really have no other way to go about this problem than to start at the battery and trace your way through the wiring loom. You're likely to find the problem quickly, since nothing works.

DPOs may even have installed workarounds for electrical problems, look for wire that looks fresh. In 18711 some DPO had bridged the green and purple circuits at the coil to keep the car running with a flaky fuse box. What I saw was that the tach was sometimes reading, sometimes not - as I found out due to different wires providing power to the coil at different times.
