My newly purchased '94 has a weird electrical problem. Most things work, a number of other circuits do not, even though all the fuses are good. The ACC circuit does not. Checked and changed the 10a fuse, the voltmeter worked for 3 days and quit again. Ther radio has no power, pulled it out and the plugs are good and tight. Anyone else had this problem? I am waiting on delivery of an electrical diagram circuit manual to start troubleshooting.

Sounds like you have intermittent issues and/or multiple problems involved. A physical inspection circuits for loose, frayed corroded or butchered wiring is a good place to start while waiting on the schematic.
 
Received the service and electrical manuals. Didn't realize there was so much electronic "stuff" on a '94.
Finding many weird things. Some circuits that have a common feed to a light or lights, one side will work, the other doesn't. This car apparently sat out in the cold damp north of BC for many years, so I think there may be condensation/corrosion in some of the inter-connecting plugs and pins.
However, i have the necessary items working. While doing the checking/testing etc., I see some modules under the dash, which, according to the electrical book, one could be remote lock/unlock.
The only key I got with the car was a small black one, the same as ones supplied as a Valet key with cars that have fobs. Question: is there any way to contact Ford or a third party to see if I can get a fob that will work, for the remote operation?
