Have electrical issues on a 2004 mazda 3.

I would check every single fuse in the car. Blown fuses can cause weird issues like this. While the initial issue with the mechanic does sound like an alarm problem....the rest does not unless the shop that installed it really butchered the job.

Smoke alarm went off None of the other smoke alarms went off just the 1 I have a CO alarm and that didnt go off either Smoke alarm has a green light on and a red light that flashes every 30 seconds

Most smoke alarms depend on a mirror and laser. If the one is question is near a bathroom, it probably went off after someone took a shower? The steam from the bathroom will fog the mirror and set it off. Same problem if it is near a source of cold air on a cold day with heat on in the house. If the problem is cold air from the attic, go to the attic and move the insulation. Seal the hole for the wires with canned foam like Great Stuff, and put the insulation back over it.

Power fadded over a few days now its dead. Fuel Pump?

It's quite possible to ruin a fuel pump by letting it run dry, especially if it already has years of use. When you first turn on the key, leave the door open and see if you can hear a high pitched whine for about three seconds. That would be the pump priming the system. If you don't hear it, then the pump isn't working. Be sure to turn the key of for about 10 seconds before you try listenng again(it has to reset). It can be hard to hear, especially over the key buzzer.

I shoot RAW/basic jpg. I review them there is a contrast differen

This is normal. Bear in mind that the JPEG file has all the image processing done, while the RAW is just the raw data. Depending on your image settings (contrast, saturation, sharpening, etc) you may see some differences.

Nikon af-s 18-70 dx autofocus problem

ff1esta,
Moving a camera from cold to warm after it has been in the cold for a long time will cause condensation to form. It's a good idea if you can to allow the camera and lenses to gradually warm up. Like first in a garage or enclosed porch in the bag before binging them into a warm place. Since you have the moisture in it now you have to allow it to get out, the electrical components are at risk, the condensation or fog may have caused the lens not to be able to focus. remove the lens from the camera body and let both sit to air out. Since it's been over a week now if there is still some moisture you may want to get the camera into a shop to be cleaned and inspected to avoid corrosion.
