Watch out where the dash to tail wire harness is routed under the floorcovering, especially under the back seat. The original harness was run over to the driver-side corner where the back seat bench is then into the trunk space behind the seat frame. If that wiring harness got bumped out of position or crushed under the seat frame, you may have a couple of grounded wires there.
Also, pull out that same wire harness from the clips running along the top of the wheel-well and under the cardboard rear quarter sill cover. Inspect individual wires for cuts caused by the metal clips and tape them up good (individually). It will be necessary to remove a portion of the original woven cloth fabric covering the wire harness to make repairs. Any place that had problems should be taped around the whole harness with good electricians tape, then stuff the harness back in the original clips.
