Stumped ABS, VSC, P/S, Shifter locked, Climate - Check the connection to the air cond
My car typically sits at home but, unfortunately I wrecked my daily. So now, I am driving my 350. I tested the batt before I connected the terminals and it was at 100%; she started right up. However, all these issues showed up on the dash, climate on the screen, and shifter locked. I have no power steering, abs, vsc, and
p/s light on dash. The shifter is locked and climate states to check the connection on the ac.
1) I attempted to clear this by disconnecting the batt for 20 mins; still same problem.
2) Check all the fuses and relays. 2 were out, cig & outlet, and replaced the 15 amps.
3) Checked for vacuum leaks (break booster/intake) etc. which was looking good.
4) Tested the batt and alternator for correct voltage & under load. Numbers were 12.6 and under load at 14.7 or there about.
5) Checked for codes and there were none.
As I read in the forums it could be voltage issues, which could've interrupted the power steering ecu or main ecu. But, what about the other issues? Also, lol, a damn mouse was nesting on my intake. I noticed chew markings and on my fire wall the insulation was chewed up. So, that lil furry fukr could've possibly chewed up some wires that are hidden. Wouldn't I get an error code for them? I know that if one thing goes wrong with voltage, the rest seem to be linked and then all hell breaks loose.
I was thinking of changing out my SX Power D2400 batt for another one I have. Then I would have access to the power steering ecu and visually inspect for chew markings. Next was to have my mech reset the ecu.
What else can I check?
I've looked at the forums for lex but, also other forums to see if there were other solutions. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I charged my batt to 100, was at 50% 
and thought it would've cleared but, nope. So I took it to my mech and we'll see what his diagnosis is. I'll keep y'all posted because I know others will have the same issue in the future. It's always helpful to others when the answer is solved and shared.
