If the speedometer still works, you'll probably have to replace the cluster. Chances are a gear broke inside the odometer.

Definitely start unhooking you negative terminal at night, so you don't prematurely ruin the battery from all this discharging. If you don't have a clamp on current meter, which would be easiest to use to find the draw, you can place a multimeter on the terminals of the battery, and look at the voltage. Start unplugging fuses, and when you see the voltage rise, you will know what circuit the draw is coming from.

Ecm should be ok. Look for blown fusable link in fuse box near battery. Should look like a metal strip held in place with 2 small bolts if I remember correctly

check that the master cylinder is not locking on with a pressure build up the cyl may need replacing probly does

Sounds like your radiator cooling fans are not working.

How many miles on the car? Does it turn over? Does it turn over extremely fast? Have you verified you have gas and spark? Not sure what engine. With very little to go on, there are too many answers, but since you put in a new battery and starter, maybe it doesn't turn over at all. If the car won't even turn over, but the guages and lights seem to function, you may have a broken timing belt. The engines in 1996 were 0 tolerance engines, which means if the timing belt breaks, the piston wil come up and make contact with the valves. Verify the timing belt is still intact. Otherwise, we really will need more information to be more precise. Sorry.

Headlamp relay stuck? Feel tops of all relays and when you find a hot one with everything off you have found the problem.

Without a general description of what the noice sounds like, squeal as compared to knocking, it is impossible to help you. Engines make a lot of different noises, so try and help by describing noise. I would suspect it is belt related, or tension pulley related as these are RPM variable noises, belts tend to slip when you accelerate and can be quite loud with a serpentine belt as example.

My wife honda Accord 1996 have the same problem, it was the hose from the radiator to the engine leaking when the pressure goes up after a while. a new hose fixed the problem.

If it isn't leaking externally, then it has to be internal, most likely a blown headgasket.

If the humming noise is more like a whirring sound, you have a bad starter-motor solonoid or "bendix." First - open the hood and have one of you listen while the other tries the starter. If the starter motor makes a whirring sound but nothing else happens, it is certainly the "bendix." The same switch that turns the motor on, also engages an electro-magnet (the bendix) that throws the starter motor gear out and engages the teeth in the motors flywheel thus allowing the electric starter motor to turn the engine over. When the engine starts, it spins the starter motor fast enough that it mechanically throws the starter gear back into the starter even before you release the starter and disengage the magnet. OK - now that you know what it is, what do you do about it. While the bendix can sometimes be cleaned and work a while longer, sometimes a really long time longer, it is seldom worth the effort to remove the starter mechanism, take it apart, clean and lubricate (with the proper lubricants) and re-install just to see if that will work. Usually, the best solution is a new or rebuilt starter. You can get one on Amazon, Autozone, NAPA, etc. and the price will likely vary a lot. You can get one from the dealer as well but it may cost more than the car (some exaggeration). Check prices - they vary a lot, sometimes by as much as 2-3x. I think the original starter motor on your car is a Denso, but there are lots of good aftermarket starters available. Starters are pretty easy to change. I suggest looking on youtube. Just make absolutely sure you disconnect your battery before starting this. Changing the starter motor (the bendix is attached and comes with a rebuilt one) takes about 30 minutes or so on that car. Basically, you disconnect the wires, unbolt the old one, slide it out, slide in the new one, bolt in in, and reconnect the wires. - then reconnect the battery and start the car. Good luck.

replace the whole speedometer unit or keep pressing on the reset button

You might have an electrical short, what kind of noise does it make?
