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!

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
