You need to look at your wiring diagram, determine exactly what things do and do not work, follow those wires on the diagram, and see what wire or terminal supplies all of them.

Check all your grounds,firewall to engine,battery cable to frame,check the exterior lights for correct ground.
Sand down the connection points,make sure you have solid metal to metal contact.
