No power

I don't have a wiring schematic yet, see if anyone has any ideas before I get one.

The horn button in the steering wheel isn't a very tight fit, a glove hooked it, and pulled it free. The bare terminals on the bottom side, arc'd on the steel of the steering wheel housing. The forklift went dead. I found a blown 15A fuse inside the back cover (bottom fuse in a 4 fuse block). Replaced the fuse, and everything started working again.

The horn button got pulled out again. Same arc happened... Same fuse was blown in the back cover. This time, replacing the blown fuse hasn't fixed it. The lights work, but that's it. When you turn the key, nothing happens.

Does anyone have any idea's on what else to check? I'll be looking into ordering a manual at some point this week if I need to, but any ideas to speed up getting this thing going would be appreciated!

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
