big electrical bug

Well lets pre game this by saying I drove the car from my parents to my apartment and half way there the car cut out. It would fire up and run for maybe 10 sec until I stepped on the gas then id lose all throttle response and the car would shut off... I flatbeded it home and ran down anything I could find... The fuel pump wasn't kicking on 50% of the time (automotive stealth 340). the 90amp fuse I used to relocate the battery blew, I replaced it.

now today I started it up and drove back to my parents no trouble at all, but I have no running lights, break lights, turn signals, radio and my seat belts stay in the forward position. My headlights still operate normally.

I checked all my fuses and they all are fine. Any hints where to start? the car is a 90 gtu with a turbo swap. I'm ripping my hair out over this car. Any help appreciated!!!

Make sure the 60 amp BTN fuse in the engine fusebox is good for starters.

BTN fuse powers the Stop fuse as an example. The Brake Switch located on the brake pedal has two wires. One of these wires is Green/White. This wire is supposed to have constant voltage. If it doesn't then either the BTN and or the Stop fuse is bad. If it has voltage then both fuses are good.
