I'm not much with electric problems is why I've not made many suggestions.  I don't want to get you off on the wrong track. 

Neither am I and I've already been on so many tracks, it's pathetic. Everythime I check one thing, another symptom pops up

Don, send 88_4mula an email.  He's pretty busy right now, but he's good at tracing and troubleshooting electrics.

From my wiring charts, the green wire should be on pin B.  Pin A would be the Tan/White wire and when given power would be the same result as jumping Pin G of the ADLC.  I will assume you named the pin wrong and we are actually referring to the green wire.

The green wire is the input from the ECU.  It connects to pin 18 of the red/white connector.  If it works when putting 12v to the green wire, then it is either a broken wire to the ECU or it is the ECU.  I would first check voltage on pin 18 and see if you get anything (key on, of course), that should tell us if the ECU is good or not.

Is this an auto or a manual?  If it is a manual, I have an 84 manual ECU that worked last time I drove the car (though it has been a few years) that I could drop in the mail to you.

CowsPatoot is officially my best friend now!  ;D

If you need a 84 ECM, I have one you can have...Just have to find it.
I took all the electronics off the 84 before scrapping it for metal.
Let me know if you need it.

As far as the problem goes. 
If you have a bad ground power will back up through things like relays and bulbs trying to find a ground source.
I would start with the grounds that will cause all kinds of havoc, are under the dash near the column.
Others are under the center console near the ECM.
Check the ground in the engine compartment near the battery.
