All fuses and relays are good including main power feed line. Crossed out bad grounds and ecm. And when I jump the circuit with jumper cables and a battery (good known battery and with vehicle battery out of jimmy) when I connect just the positive all normal power leads to fuse box and sensors have power but as soon as I connect the ground all power leads ground out
