I don't have a wiring diagram for an 84, but it sounds like one of the fusible links is toast. Check the links by the battery.

I don't have a wiring diagram for an 84 either....but, in a Haynes manual (if you want to call it that) it shows a 3 amp ECM Ignition fuse in the fuse panel...I'd double check that..or even just replace it. Then I'd make sure all battery terminals and connections are clean and tight.
