Paul,

Your battery is grounded to a post welded on top of the frame about 4" behind the battery box. Pull the carpet loose ( it is attached with upholstery adhesive) and you will see it. Mine is attached with a metric socket head bolt; you will need a 6mm allen wrench. The factory uses a star washer between the cable lug and the chassis to cut through the chassis paint. This doesn't give you the best contact. Scrap the paint from the top of the welded post (where the cable attaches) so you will have good contact.

The 80A main power fuse is located in the bottom of the dropdown fuse panel above the driver's left leg. It looks like this:

I doubt you have blown the main 80A fuse. With the battery disconnect switch on, use a dc voltmeter to check voltage between ground and the large right post on the starter solenoid on the firewall (the large red cable from the battery should be connected here). If you have power here, check voltage between ground and the right main fuse terminal (this will be power going to the fuse). Then check between ground and the left main fuse terminal. If you have power here, you should have power to the headlights and horn without the ignition switch turned on.
