Default Need electrical help

My 1996 LT4 has been stored for the past year although it did get started and driven twice. During that period, the battery died and was recharged. It died again last month, so I replaced it. Now, the horns do not work (both were replaced two years ago), the radio does not work and the Passive Keyless Entry system does not work. I checked the fuses for these items and all fuses are OK. Is there by any chance a common ground that would effect these three items simultaneously? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe on the 96 (I have an 87) there are a bunch of connectors or a fuse block next to the battery. You likely have corroded connections there and definetely if the battery leaked any acid. Check the quality of the connections.

Thanks, jfb. There are fuses in that area and I'll take a look at them.
