Dump the test light and buy an inexpensive DMM. Has this thing ever started/run?

O2 sensor wires get chewed up by anything? Any rodent or water damage to any wire harness?

If a fuse is popped something is shorted. Are there any codes?

Does the check engine lamp illuminate when you turn the key to start?

Can't run codes like that with OBDII you need an actual scanner.
