I'd like to check this problem out myself earlier going the expensive route and purchasing a new ECU. When the motor just died I slickly narrowed it down to the ecu fuse. Replaced the blown fuse and the car tried to start but instantly blew again. Against my better decision and because I was within an intersection under construction I used a thesis clip hoping to just win the car over and parked. WOW, burned the dissertation clip in partly. I'd like to at least possible check for loose wiring but don't own a clue where the ecu is even located. Any minister to or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Answers: The ECU is located on the passenger side of the car lower than the carpet.
Try disconnecting the ECU from the connector. Put within a new fuse and afterwards turn the key. If the fuse doesn't blow right away, woggle the connector you just unhooked. If you hold a short in the electric wiring harness, it should blow using this technique. Then you'll have to trace the wires put a bet on to the ignition switch to find the dead short.
Otherwise, it's contained by the ECU. Rare, but not unheard of.

it could be a desperate ecu, especially since its under the runner.
moisture has a leaning to find its way near. but there are a full lot of wire that could also be cause the short. i recomend taking it a shop. looking for such shorts can even be tough for seasoned technicians sometimes.
