Hi Dave,

Nasty problem. Not my specialty but I would do a pinout test for a short. Reading some TSBs on this car I came up with a TSB talking about waterproof replacement connectors. What this tells me is that there is a problem with some of the connectors and corrosion. It could just be corrosion in a connector so I would try unplugging and checking the connectors that pretain to your issue. We had one recently in the shop that we thought was a bad computer, ended up being a bad connection.
