Double check the wiring harness to make sure it did not get pinched under the manifold or the top cover. It is common for a single wire to get pinched and shorted and cause this.
did you check the lower intake manifold gaskets? they go bad on the 3800 series 2, since you have the supercharger you won't have an issue with the upper intake because it is not plastic but the gaskets may be bad as well. that engine runs best with irridium plugs.
You need a new starter solenoid. It is essentially a heavy duty remote switch that is activated by your ignition key switch.
The solenoids get stuck or don't conduct well after 6 to10 years.
Check that the AC compressor clutch is engaging. It is electromagnetic and is also prone to seizing from corrosion. Sometimes simply giving it a firm tap and some lubricant can solve it.
Depends on what sub-model you have. If you have an SE its a 3100 3.1L Engine. If its a GT its a 3800 3.8L Engine. If its a GTP its a 3800 3.8L but with a supercharger.
If the pulley is bent or damaged replace it or belts will come off or get destroyed fairly fast. The Kent Moore tool number you have will not work on your application
there must be a bad pulley, or something out of line, remove the belt and spin each pulley to make sure they spin freely, then shake each one to make sure they dont have a lot of play,take a good look at the waterpump pulley and ac pulley, also the tensioner starts to bend outward when it gets weak,
first turn the ac off and then start the engine. you may want to lift the hood so you can hear the next step better. turn on the ac and within a couple seconds not more than 5 or so you should hear a click sound. This is the ac clutch engaging. if you don't hear a click you can double check the compressor has engaged by looking to see that the center of the ac compressor is turning with the outer pulley. if it is not most likely you don't have enough refrigerant in the system. i would suggest getting an ac pressure tester they are fairly inexpensive but this will tell you for certain if you have enough refrigerant or not.
