Electrical problem
1995 Dodge Intrepid 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi there, the car has a 3.5L, I have no power to the red wire at the fuel pump connection, have power to the sending unit wire. I also have no power to the fuse no.18 for the fuel pump. At the relay for the fuel pump and the auto shutdown , I have power at the lug that is supposed to be hot at all times, but nothing else when I turn the ignition on. This all occurred when I turned the cruise on and all the dash lights started flashing and then the car quit. after that, sometimes it would start and sometimes not. Now, not at all. I have replaced the engine PCU with a used one with matching numbers, still no luck! Let me know what you think, thanks Also want to add that I found the ground wires from the engine to subframe and engine to unibody broke, so I have replaced those with 12 gauge wire and also one from the battery to the alternator. I believe the elect. system was starving for a ground, but am unsure what component it affected.

Your #'s and colors don't jive with mine. Do you have, or have access to a fax? Normally I can attach drawings to this post, but for some reason it won't let me. If you have access, shoot me a # and I'll fax them (4) to you. Please advise.
