No power. What are items to check?

Asking for a friend. Salvage vehicle . 2011 M3. Sat for 2 years. Fully repaired. But Can't get power to the car. Already checked the fuse box connector that there is the recall on.

Any suggestions on what else to check/test or culprits. I was told the battery is healthy.

Thanks in advance.

shake the fuse box under the glove compartment to see if the car comes alive. I had zero power, despite the battery terminals at the engine compartment shows 12.6V. Shook fuse box and everything came back on. Is that what you did when you said you checked for the recall?

Battery is without a doubt good? What have you checked (with a meter)? Start at the battery and work your way through the car with the meter. You "checked the fuse box connector" and there is voltage going in the panel but nothing coming out?
