Problem with a 92 SC400...
I hope someone can help me figure out a problem with my 92 SC400 with more than 170k on the odo.
Last night my TRAC light came on and stayed on the entire trip home. After i turned off the car and restarted it again, the TRAC light went away. This morning after i started the car the light came back on and i figured i would sort the issue out after work when I had the time, the car was running fine.
I drove no less than a block and the car stalled. Now i'm unable to start it.
When i apply the brakes with the car off, the red oil pitcher light and check engine light come on; is this an oil pressure problem?
Nothing is turning on or at least functioning as intended. The power locks dont work the windows wont roll down , and the headlights wont come on. There could be other things i didnt check all yet. Im suspecting it could be related to a fuel pump a mechanic installed a few weeks ago.
If anyone has an idea of what the problem is based on what i described so far please chime in.

Update...
This is going to be a strange update but i'll try to explain it as best as possible.
The car finally started tonight.
When I turned the key to start the car, the first few turns did not start it, but you could hear a faint click coming from the drivers foot well; and when I say click, it's more like a very low buzz.
It sounded as if something was trying to enable the car to start but the signal was unable to make the connection.
Unfortunately it is too dark to see if a relay or fuse is bad but i'm hoping someone here on the forum can guide me in the right direction.
I hope this is something as simple as changing a bad relay.
I'll update this thread once i have the car checked out.
