Woody86 is on a distinguished road
Fuse seems like a logical possibility. If 14v is getting to the battery something is preventing it from getting through the car.

I can't begin to understand the complexities of modern auto electronics but if my main fuses are good (verified power dist fuses 200amp etc) then why does it have trouble starting and have lights dimming like a dead battery.

I haven't been able to get at my ecu box. The filter housing comes out no problem but the runner along the top (5 philips screws that just spin?) prevents me from opening it and its too dark to start prying at things.

The whole thing is very odd. I'm not thrilled on the idea of driving it but if 14v is getting to the battery I should at least be able to drive it somewhere to have it tested in the morning.
