4 questions. Answer whatever you can. Thank you.

1. My battery had 664 cold crank amps, 12.6volts. Had the car in accessory mode for 10 minutes while I plugged in the diagnostic scanner. Checked the battery afterwards and it dropped to 457 cold crank amps, 11.86volts. I didn't have the light or radio on. Is this big drop normal, or might my battery be bad?

2. Would it be ok to plug in a trickle charger inside the engine bay while in accessory mode and diagnosing my car so the battery doesn't die?

3. I installed Insta+, it boots up, gets all the info for my F25, but won't let me do a Complete Identification. I get this error message: The programming system could not be initialized. The ISTA installation may be damaged or incorrectly configured. Reinstall ISTA. If problems persist, contact local support. Anyone solve this before?

4. My Launch Elite (not elite) scanner gave me the error messages: 1) Deactivation of Terminal 15. Upper stability limit reached. 2) Deactivation of Terminal 30b. Upper stability limit reached. What may be causing this?

Man... I thought I had it!

Found a great video that shows hidden fuses under the hood. I cut open the box, checked the fuses, but they were good...

The reason my fuel pump won't prime is because of codes: 93076A and 93076B, Deactivation of terminal 15 and 30B: upper startability limit reached, but deactivation preventer active.

I'm willing to try anything else, if anyone has any ideas. Going on our 4th week with our only family vehicle down and its a major bummer.
