I'm looking for some advise on where to start troubleshooting.
I was pulling out of my driveway this morning, and my '96 Mystique V-6 w/AT died when I put it in reverse. Very odd. I put it in Park, and tried restarting. It cranked, but no go. All my other electrical was nonfunctional - no radio, antenna stuck in up position, electric door locks not working. I grabbed my multimeter and got 12.05 V on the battery. I put the charger on it and set it for 100 amp start. The starter cranked a little faster, but no start.
The battery was new in Dec 2005, but it did go dead on me last month when I left the car undisturbed for 3 weeks. It has been reading about 13.2 V since I trickle charged it. Fuel pump was changed out at 65,000 miles (it has 104,000 on it now).
Since I can't start the Mystique up, I can't even put it in neutral to push it out of the driveway. It is trapping 2 vehicles in my garage. I had to use my kid's T-bird to get to work this morning. I was in a bit of a hurry to get to work, so my troubleshooting was pretty minimal so far. Where should I start - fuse box maybe?
