Rx7-FD starting problem

Hi all! Newest member here, just got an RX7FD 1994 touring, US import to Norway.
It corners as if it was on rails, and goes like a bat outta hell! Just drove it the 300andso miles back home, no problem at all!
Parked it in the garage, went down the next morning. Turned the key, sentral locking opened the doors. Got in, put it in first, clutch in, key in, pip-pip pip-pip, turned one click, turned two clicks, all dashlights on, all relays clicking like there is no tomorrow, turned to start.... CLICK, everything went dead! key out, key in, same prosedure, but this time, on click two, everything is completely dead! No relays firing, no lights, nothing...!

Got out, checked the fuses, looked em over, all good! Locked the car, and the sentral locking mechanism is dead.Tried the passenger door...And there the sentral locking mechanism worked. The secirutylight(orange light on the centre console) lid up, and the doors locked. Unlocked it again, light lid up, tried to start the car, click, all lights on, clutch in, turn to start the car....CLICK...all dead...

Got out, now the central locking system is dead on both doors...

Let the car sit there for a while, tried unlocking it, and it all worked again, got in ,turned key, click click....turn to start....CLICK..dead...!!!!!!

Swapped the 10A doorlock-fuse with the 10A rear wiperfuse, but now everything is just dead..! no lights, no clicks in relays or anything...!!!

Help me here? Where to locate the alarmfuses? Any relays connected to the alarmsystem? Is there a startlockingdevice(Dont know what you call it in english) of some kind connected to the sentral locking system?

As you may have figured out by now, im at a loss here..... Help?

Regards
