Suddenly no power

Wife's 87 Camry suddely has no power, nothing not even a courtesy light. Went to work one day, next morning absolutely nothing. Battery checks out good, new starter, everything seems to be OK, just no electricity.Any and all ideas would be appreciated. Also need source for inside fuse diagram as her drivers side fuse door is missing and the passenger door has lost the diagram.
The little customers book shows nothing as to which fuse is for what.

Did you check the three main fuses at the positive battery terminal? I would start there.

Are the battery terminals and leads free of corrosion?

Yes, I have the ones that you can actually see the copper links the other one is black and I don't know of any way to tell. The battery is in perfect shape. I still need to find info on the inside fuses as I stated in my first message.

2nd Generation Just check ALL fuses And alternator

After you know that all fuses are good (and I think they are)

Make sure the fusable links are not seperated. A gap means that the fuses is blown!

The last time my Camry did this I found the Main wire going to the Alternator was all corroded and needed cleaning.
I replaced the Alternator and cleaned the main (largest) wire connection going to it.
NO MORE PROBS SINCE!

If anything is loose tighten it check all the fuses under the hood one of those main ones are probably blown and now the car has nothing.
