Default 93 electrical problems

Hey guys, my 93 is giving me fits again. Now when I try to start the car all the lights start freaking out and the chime goes crazy. I tried just leaving the key on, and same thing after about a minute or less. At this point I feel like Dante walking through the gates of hell. I need help bad guys. I bought the service manuals an they just showed up so I'm digging through those but honestly I have no idea where to look besides the CCM. (By the way if anyone needs any info from the manuals, just PM me and I can send scans of pages or whatever you need.) Is my CCM as good as KFC?

Your battery strong and the terminals and grounds snug and clean?

The later models tend to be more sensitive to low voltage, but it can affect the C4s also.

Brand new 770 cold crank battery battery from autozone, but after I tried cranking it, it completely drained the battery. Probably should have put that in the OP. I did check the wires to the ECM and all the connections behind the drivers seat and couldn't find anything. I'm going to check the starter connections tomorrow after I get off work, or maybe tonight if I get a chance but with the problem poping up with the key just on makes me think I won't be so lucky.

If all of the grounds are good and there are no visible signs of a short at the starter I would venture a guess and say that the ignition switch was the culprit.
