Help, No Power! (power mode, that is)

Well, I finally got around to removing the remote car starter (that I thought was an alarm) that I mentioned in the Power Mode Selection thread, and it didn't make a difference.

Here the summary of what's not working:

1: The gear indicator lights in dash don't light up. All bulbs except "D" are good.

2: Power light / mode. I'm sure the bulb is good, but it doesn't even come on momentarily when I start the car. I have never seen the bulb light up, and have not noticed any significant change in shifting when I "mash the gas"

3: Manual light / mode. I have played with the manual button and shift lever several times and it doesn't seem to make any difference no matter what combination I try. I know the bulb is good.

4: a few other random illumination bulbs (defroster, cruise, etc). I think these are just blown bulbs, but I figured I would note it anyway.

5: the air bag light is on.

6: the security system. the light comes on when I push the button but I can't get it into programming mode so I'm not sure if my keyfob works. I don't think the electric locks work either. I haven't thoroughly tested this since removing the remote starter.

Most everything else electrical seems to work.


While I had everything apart to remove the remote starter, I swapped the door lock timer and the Time Control Unit from my parts car to see if that made any difference, but it didn't.
I do notice now that there is a relay clicking behind the glove box when I move the driver lock, but the passenger one doesn't move.

Any ideas? I'd really like to get power mode working, and it would be nice to get the other issues straightened out.

Thanks!
