Electrical/won't start

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2006 Extended cab 4x4  199256 miles
Sorry in advance for the length of this. This truck has set for a couple of years the mice have found it home. I've not yet found chewed wires anywhere but there has to be some.

Is there a key light or light saying security flashing or illuminated at all when this happens you may need to reprogram your transponder in your key...putting some fuel directly in the throttle body without turning the key off after this happens and trying to start it back up would indicate if it starts again that you have a fuel issue most likely… if the computer doesn’t read the transponder in the key it’ll have similar symptoms have you run diagnostics since the condition had occurred

No pwr No start. Fuse box? Etc

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1998  159000 miles
I have 98 Chev 1500 4x4. I was trying to crank, would spin over but not crank, kinda like fuel pump bad. But spun over few times then no pwr. Like no battery pwr. Gauges didn't react when key turn to on position. Knew had bad starter also. So replaced starter, found body ground cable from hood to firewall broke and corroded. Replaced. But still no pwr. Checked fuse etc. Under hood.no blown fuses. Tried to find schematics for fuse box under hood but no success. Any tips on where I should start tracing wires etc or what I should check next? Any help greatly appreciated
