Default Help !!! Electrical problems for 96ls

I seem to be having a strange problem with my 96ls. My key fob doesn't work and its accompanied by some electrical problems. The power mirrors don't work at all. The power locks don't work when the car is off and sometimes the headlights cut off when I turn the car off and sometimes they don't when they are set in the automatic position.

Also the interior dome light doesn't work when its on the door open selection but I can still turn it on. But the courtesy door lights seem to work. I checked the fuses they seem to be all set. What should be my next move?

Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!!!!

It seems as if a circuit for powered items not switchable through the ignition is having an issue. Some items get power through multiple paths such as through the ignition switch and battery when the car is on and just through the battery when it is off creating confusion for you. See if you can find a wiring diagram here in a thread and look at the circuit diagram portions that are feeding these items from the battery to see if it singles out one common path.
