Rep Power: 0 01 civic blowing fuse
Working on my son's 2001 civic. It died while driving and would not restart. Found a 15 amp fuse marked FI ECU blown. Replaced it and when I turned the ignition on it blew instantly. Did some online research and all I found seemed to indicate the fuel pump relay was bad. What I found online said it was blue relay behind the glove box. Replaced that and the fuse still blew. Even with relay out it blew. There was a brown relay beside the blue. Replaced it and it still blew. Removed it and, bingo, it did not blow. Replaced brown relay and disconnected wire to fuel pump. It blew. So the only way to keep fuse from blowing is to remove the brown 4 blade relay. What does this go to?
Would appreciate any advice anyone can offer, I'm stumped.
Thanks for your time, Rick
More Info: Looking in a Chilton's it appears this is the PGM-FI main relay No. 1. What does it feed?
