Manual says to remove the radiator but if you remove the bolts holding the radiator and push it out of the way it is possible to remove the alternator through the top but it takes some work to wiggle it out.

Its more than that you are more than likely going to end up replacing the ECU.

Yes, electrical problems are very difficult to trace. My wild guess is that someone did some recent repairs to the car. Possibly a crash and body repair. In the process of the crash some wires were "shorted" between power supply to the ignition switch and the devices that are malfunctioning. If this is true, take it back to the repair facility. If you did something in DIY repair, triple check your work. Do a very careful visual inspection of all the wiring from the battery to the ignition switch. I like to use the new led flashlights in the dark to follow all the wires. You may also have loose connections that are shorting to these aberrant devices.

1. Loose battery or earth connections on bodywork/engine.

2. Starter stuck in mesh. (rock car backwards and forwards in gear to free)

3. Solenoid stuck. Tap lightly with a hammer.

4. Starter relay in or near fuse box faulty. Replace relay.

If your parking brake is loose than you have to take off your center console box. Leave the parking brake off and when you take off the box you will see the cable from the handle connecting to two cables that go to the back. You can adjust from there. If that doesn't solve it than it might be broke and you'll have to check everything

3000GT. all steps....? are in the FSM. but you are asking us to show all steps and all photos?

Have you had a chance or have your mechanic check the thermostat (control) and/or the coolant pump ? If any of them is not working, the coolant will not circulate (properly) and hence, it overheats.

Might be that but if you heard crackling I would chech all wiring behind fuse block to make sure there is no short in the system which can cause a fire, unusual to hear fuses blow.

Check all of the wires coming off of the battery. Look for any that may be loose or badly corroded. Repair or replace as needed. If that doesn't solve it and you are sure that the battery is good, check the wiring at the alternator to make sure that there are no loose wires there, since that may have been what killed the battery. Good luck.
