I agree with Rick. The "I thought maybe it was this, so I replaced it"
method is not the best approach. Think about wiring that runs near or under
the carpet that might have gotten jostled. There is quite a lot you can
accomplish with a simple test light. For instance, if your starter S
terminal is not getting juice when the key is in the start position, don't
bother replacing the starter. A new starter that is also not getting juice
will not solve the problem. You can also usually poke the test light into
the backs of the plastic connectors. If there is juice on one side of a
connector but not the other, or at both sides of one connector but not at
the next one, there's your problem.

Also don't forget to check the fuses with a test light. Poke the tester in
on the "cold" side of each fuse. Sometimes fuses look ok at a glance, but
they are not. a test light will tell you whether or not they are actually
conducting electricity rather than just what they look like they are doing.

HTH,
