Any old alarms / immobilisers fitted?
-
I think you can also lock / unlock with the key in the boot? Something else to look at if troubles continue?
-
The starter body earths on the gearbox housing, is that the current resistance in the starter circuit?
-
I can post, maybe you have to post in the threads prior to making your own posts? Lots of spam on there ATM

Don't leave the car unattended with the battery connected until the issue is resolved, have a fire extinguisher with you when fault finding too. It could be something as simple as a self tapping screw caught on a single wire, most likely behind the dash if its been out?

I once owned an Audi 80 cabriolet, every time I pressed the brake pedal the doors would lock via the central lockIn pump, wires to the boot center brake light passed to the boot via the boot hinge, all were broken, cracked insulation and shorting. did you mention you had a battery drain issue previously ?

Fb themselves will delete content there bots find controversial, most regulars here post there tbh lol preserve a bit longer?
-
I think you’ll find it’s a factory crimp (joint - 1 wire in, 2 wires out to window and locking)

Open up the hole in the bracket to M8 and use a standard bolt if there's enough clearance to do so?
-
As far as I’m aware, key in the door pushes the solenoid down to meet the limit switch that then Switches the pump, if the solenoid wasn’t moving far enough to operate the switch the door would then open again? could be either door?

I’d start by looking at the earth collection point lower drivers a pillar by the fusebox
-
I think ecu supplies an earth to the relay in normal operation (an engine stall cuts power to the fuel pump for safety reasons)? Those other circuits are also now doing the same? A poor earth connection, wiring insulation cracked and shorting somewhere, a wrongly connected plug or aftermarket alarm immobiliser?
-
Can you pull the fuse on the alarm to isolate that from the equation?
-
Replace the bulbs with known good ones (not Chinese / Poundland), one at a time. Inspect earth points on rear lights, connectors in the bulb holders, earth on the pedal light switch on the pedal box.
-
Remove the brake light bulbs and retest
-
You’d be a fool to sell that….

I wouldn’t buy a recently restored car, the recent price increases make a bondo and newspaper restoration a financial win for a seller, then 12 months down the line it has more blisters than a herpes convention. If you can find a car with online history from a good owner cashing out (rather than cashing in) that’s where I suggest you put your money.

Early mk3 gtis / vr6s (with rectangular side repeaters and 280mm brakes) had the same crap ABS system

It’s often been said (until recently) that corrado prices don’t reflect their rarity / value, I bet you’re glad you don’t support the Vauxhall badge? https://www.handh.co.uk/auction/lot/lot-814---1996-vauxhall-calibra-20-se6/?lot=56473&so=0&st=&sto=0&au=514&ef=&et=&ic=False&sd=0&pp=48&pn=1&g=1 -
I’ve just scrapped a storm that was good on top but a rusty horror underneath (eyes full of rust / showers of rust etc), it had been in my dry garage for 7 + years.
