I just had this same car with a very similar issue towed in last week. Car wouldn't turn over, turned out to be hydrolocked with fuel. Able to get the fuel out of the cylinders, we were then able to get it to start.

 

Had similar electrical issues as yours. Turns out, the aftermarket chip security system that could be installed had fried and causing a back feeding issue through the ignition. After removing that and an oil change, the car ran like new.

 

The chip is usually mounted to the bottom edge of the under dash panel below the steering wheel.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this car has no alarm, and it not hydro locked.

UPDATE:

 

I had the alternator tested.  It is fine.  

 

So I think I've come to a dead end.  

 

If you live in the Portland Vancouver area and are looking for a wagon which has plenty of good stuff on it, please check out my craigslist ad, 1994 $700 obo.  

 

I dont want to send this car to a yard.  I'd rather it go to someone who would likes finding needles in haystacks, or who needs a complete wagon.

 

This wagon has the grey interior.  also, the seat belts have been converted to Outback, so they are the regular shoulder belt which must be manually pulled into place.

 

END OF LINE.
