Check the 60A fusible link on the positive battery terminal.

Took everything apart at the positive terminal and both the main and the alternator fusible links are good. And there is power at both the alternator and the starter.

You know, it is behaving like there is something disabling the ON and START circuits from operating. And although the OBD computer powers up fine, it is not able to communicate with the ECU, so there seems to be no power going to the ECU.

Might you know if there any sort of "fail safe" disable mechanism that may have gotten triggered? I saw in the Owner's Manual there is an anti theft ignition disable security device, although my model supposedly doesn't have it because there is an empty spot where the LED indicator would be at the leading edge of the dash near the passenger side of the windshield.

I'll try any other suggestions you can think of...
