i'll be sure to do that because that is definitely what it is. found alot of things i didnt want to looking for a grounded wire. probably about 20 cut wires with copper exposed in the engine bay and going to the cd player (which doesnt play of course). taped them all up, pulled the fuses for the cd player. positive cable of the battery cable was mostly exposed so i fixed that. right rear shock mount area has the metal around it broken. front shock mounts are broken. control arm bushings shot and a ton of other things. i'll check tomorrow to see if i cured the problem
