The hydraulic pump and switch should be on their own cable direct from the battery. That's why they work when the battery isolator switch is pushed in.

You might also check any bundles of 12 volt wires and see if they were clamped so tightly that the wires are broken. Loosen the bundle and wiggle wires in it to see if something comes back on. Look at the wires where they connect into the fuse block and make sure they are tight.

You might also check the master circuit breaker on the side wall of the battery compartment. Look where there are some large wires connected to a silver grey unit. There is a very small black plastic button on the end of it. Push that in and see if it clicks. If it does that acts like a battery cut off as well.
