90 CRX HF won't start
Turned the ignition on the car to start it and momentarily it fired and then shut off.
I presumed it to be trouble with the recently replaced main relay, so I stuck my hand under the dash to jiggle the harness. This usually fixes the problem and the fuel pump comes on and all is good. This time it didn't work.
I went under the hood to pull the fuse and reset The ECU. I also noticed that the fuse next to it (labeled as stoplight) was blown. I turned the ignition on and didn't hear the whine of the fuel pump so I replaced the blown fuse.
With the fuse replace all the idiot lights light up in the panel but I get no response when I turn the key. I removed the fuse and now the starter will respond to the ignition switch but the ECU shows no life at all.
Just a few seconds before all this the engine was running.
Anybody have any ideas?

The relay has been replaced. I usually jiggle the wire harness for a response. Somebody has gotten into a large bus in the harness.
I had to do some repair to it when I got the car.
It was the result of a butchered stereo installation.
Why do all the idiot lights light up when I put in a fuse labeled for the stoplights?
