electrical problems

I was almost home the other night when my car died and I coasted home. It won't restart. I can't hear the fuel pump even when I jump the connector. The fuel pump resistor relay checked out per FSM.

On top of that, there is a green six prong connector by the primary coils. one of those middle prongs is 12v when ignition on. i wired my defi gauges to this a long time ago and for some reason it is constant 12v now. i went to lock my car and noticed my guages were lit up. so i just unplugged the wire that used to be the switched 12v source.

when i locked my car the security light didn't light up. i messed with the lock switch for a while and now it lights up but when i close the door while holding the handle up the light goes out when the door shuts, but the door is still locked. so now i unlock the door with the key. i turn it left and when turning it to the right, the security light flashes several times very fast.

all this is happening within the past couple of days. also noticed that the 5v vRef wire to my pressure sensor is actually 6.5 volts.

something really screwy is going on and i don't have a clue what to do. this is my only car.

Whoa.

Have you looked at the wiring diagrams via FSM and tried to deduce where this might be coming from.

Here's a site that has the Factory Service Manual.

www.fc3s.org

Under howtos and then under manuals.

I do not envy you situation. I hate electrical problems.
