The Beater Is Busted

The unit is fine, pull the fuse from your soap-bar just to make sure before you buy anything.

Fuses are cheap. wont pull the talons fuse.

regardless of whether it WAS bad, its broken now. it borke when I took the cap off to look inside. Im thinking that it was therefor already bad.

Replaced the fuse FINALLY. When I try to put the ground back on the battery it throws some hardcore sparks. Im thinking there is a MAJOR short somewhere.

do any fuses blow when you try to connect the battery -?

When I bring your ECU back to you, I'd be willing to take a look at the car.Shorts of that magnitude are usually very easy to locate.

Cool thanks.

I replaced the 85amp fuse with a 100amp fuse (they had no 85amp). it has not blown yet, after probably half a dozen experiments.

With the alternator unplugged I can reconnect the battery just fine. I dont know if that means squat though. I will try putting the plug into the old alternator tomorrow and seeing what happens.

The chances aren't great, but that extra 15amps can cause a lot of damage.
