Get a voltmeter and check for voltage at the battery. Connect a new (+) lead. Check voltage from the (+) side of the battery to the engine block. Check again @ the body. If you have 12V across the battery, and you have 12V from the battery (+) to the engine block and body, and you still don't have voltage at the fuse box, then look for another fuse in the system (honda has a little fuse box under the hood in addition to the one in the cab).

Hmm, well we used a test light to do the tests you mentioned when it broke down, and the battery we were using was out of my personal car and it is still fine. We have searched high and low for fuses in the car. We found one box under the hood that had 4 wire loops connecting the terminals. We believe this is the fuse link box, but we arent sure if someone just jimmied it up with some peices of wire. I have never seen a fuse link like this, but it doesn't look like someone just made it, it looks good. I'll describe it to you...It is a peice of thin wire with two female connectors on each end. The insulation around the wire is cloth and is very loose, as in much bigger diameter than the wire itself. Does this sound like some kind of old school fuse link?
Here is the kicker though, they are all fine, none of them are blown. Yet the car still gets no power. There may be another fuse link but trust me we looked hard and found nothing. But lets just imagine that the fuses failed an did not blow, what would be the first thing to get fried from an overload and how could we test it?
