If not, check for voltage at the immobilizer.
If voltage is present, you may need to do some digging for the break or short.
Hey PW. Your reply made me wonder about my dome light issue. My dome/door lights only work with the key on. In other words, if I open the door with the key off they don't work. If I turn the key on and open the door they come on.

The trunk release works only if I have the key on, but the frunk hasn't worked since I bought the car. (I tested the actuator by running 12v directly to it and it works.) But that's a separate issue.

If they are all on the same power source, that power source only comes on when the key is on. Is there a way to change that to be on at all times?

History: 2002 boxtser. bought it with a bad immobilizer. replaced it with a good used one, but swapped the eeproms.
