I think Doug fitted a replacement BECM. Not all BECM's are compatable with different Motronic engine ECU's perhaps.

Here's hoping that's done the trick !

Hi guys ive spoken to Rick today all be it quite brief, I can only go off what he is saying to me at the moment but im not techincle or dont understand these Ebcm things but all i can say at this moment in time is, he is in his words " 10,000 % sure he has fixed my car " so there lies the clue, he has fixed it and dont have the car...???
Im not avoiding the answers guys but Rick is supplying a documented report on the repair and what is or has been the problem, when that arrives i will let you guys know which hopefully will be around mid week as my bits are being posted out monday, and im off all week too....
All i can say is Rick is 10,000% sure its sorted....
couple of days and we will all know....

That's a great lesson to learn, but luckily for you, no damage was done.
The only thing that blew was the main fuse.
The car wasn't starting before you started looking into the fuse box, & as far as i'm concerned the problem was already evident & no further damage was done through causation of the fuse box.

Uk Vette ---No its not the main fuse mate not at all it did blow when i caused the short circuit but i replaced the fuse and it still did not start with the new ebcm fitted... a quick bullit point run down to refresh peoples minds guys...
1. Headlights horns and hazzards come on for no reason while driving..
2. Check fuse box for corrosion (ok no issues)
3. Unplug alarm siren still headlights fault on, but engine still RUNNING
4. Loosen fuse box to connect alarm siren up again, and cause short on fusebox terminal underneath on 10mm terninal brown/green wire
5. ENGINE WONT START NOW BUT TURNS OVER and hights fault still on as well
RANGIE started fine till i caused the short on the 10mm stud underneath the fusebox on the brown/green terminal to the ebcm...
6. Ebcm now diagnosed as lights fault taken away by Doug for rebuild
7. Whilst ebcm is away being rebuilt i rest a few things and find MAXI fuse blown and replace it..
8. Doug returns my Ebcm and fits and sysncs it in,
9. Lights fault fixed ( original problem sorted) but still wont start due to shorting the wire ??
10. Try a replacement fuse box complete with relays and all fuses ( still non start)
11. Try & replace new crankshaft position sensor (still non start)
12. Try & replace both coil packs (still non start)
13. Replace engine Ecu on inner wing Doug returns 3rd time to code into ebcm
14. STILL NON START TURNS OVER BUT STILL NO SPARK...
15. Rick gets in touch and Ebcm and both new and original Engine Ecu's away to test
16. Rick has made some progress and is confident its sorted but awaititng delivery to test 100% of my ebcm and engine Ecu's
If it starts i will let you know the full diagnosis as he is writnig a report but Rick is in his words 10000% confident with his work....
And thats it where we are so far guys ....

Thanks Neo,
I was getting confused again. (probably not the first time, or the only one)
So as soon as the bits are returned, you going to first "disconnect the battery! arn't you !!
Then refit the bit's,turn the key, and grin.
Hope we read some thing like that in the next few days.
