Okay, so i cleaned and sanded down the ground by the battery. Only the small one. The big one that goes to the block was a little out of reach. Then I took out thr computer(mine was a piece of cake) and saw the ground, looked perfectly fine. Didnt see any chip. I took some pics. Will upload soon. So I put everything back. Im restarting the computer after I cleaned the ground and I had to replace a fuse. Window motor is still dead though. Any ideas?

I would definatly dig into the harness where it goes through the fire wall.

My rule of thumb is when looking for wiring shorts is to start with any area that looks to have been repaired or spliced by a previous owner before you open up the harness.
Then go from there . There seems to be a short someplace

Like Mattdel said though you have a short somewhere causing all those codes.

Any way with a multimeter I could check for any shorts with grounds?

Guys so quick question, i was looking at a wiring layout to the computer, and i noticed that every sensor that is giving me a code is connected to the same wire that goes to the computer ( mind you i know nothing of electricity so im speaking in very bland terms lol) When i connected the paper clip to saelf test to the house looking thing, it sparked, then i blew a fuse, the fuse for courtesy lamps and radio. Then i used an alternate ground and it worked. The House looking thing has a black wire going straight to the computer, in that wire, the ECT ACT TPS EGR and Barometic Pressure Black wires go there as well. The EGR is throwing a code because its removed, but everything else are my codes. DO you think thats the issue?
