1989 Chevy S-10 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

It worked fine 1 day, the next day had very little power, only a couple lights came on, no radio. I replaced the battery, and still nothing, checked all fuses, they are all ok, looked for looses connections did not find any. Can't try and pop clutch due to it's placement. Please give me some suggestions

Hello, if the battery has a full charge and the cables are clean and tight on both ends, you might check any circuit that gets ignition feed. That feed comes from the ignition switch. There is ignition feed to the clutch switch, yellow wire, goes hot with the key in the crank position. The purple wire from the clutch switch carries voltage to the starter solenoid, goes hot when the clutch switch is activated.
