Default burned ecu and electrical issues

sorry for my english
but here is my problem

first the charging light started to light, then the lights went crazy, the light was VERY strong and the headlights dont work, then the battery fuse blowed.

i got home to check it up and disconnected the alternator.
the ecu fuse blowed evry time i connected the main relay, if i didnt connect the main relay
the fuse would hold.

i found out that it was the cable that goes from the ecu to the mainrelay that have to cause that.
then today i tried to check it up again and then the hole ecu took a **** on me.
the A connector number 25 melted some in the plastic shield and something in the ecu blowed.

were should i start to find some answers before i get a new ecu

last year it ran fine and i havent touched something

the car is a crx vtec with obd0-obd1 and a p28 ecu

Here is the P28 pinout
It looks like you burned up a transistor too right in front of the darkened pin at the middle top of your pic.
The darkened pin appears to be A1.
I'm assuming that it's darkened because it's fried, but who knows. Maybe it's dark because the transistor heated it up.
A1 looks to be an injector wire - would make total sense for an OBD1 swap to have bad wiring at an injector.
Probably easy to check with an OHM-meter to see if you have continuity/shorting.

If that's not the problem I would do more continuity checks by attaching to one end of the burnt up parts and probing the connector pins to figure out which one traces to the bad part.
Once you find the pin you can troubleshoot your wiring.

the other thing that is burned just infront of the pin has been there before, it had to do witht something like the intake temp or something like that, i had it there last year.
thanks for the tip, keep it comming

a were and made a continuity check and cam up with

A4
A23
A24
A26
D2
is grounding

with the ecu out of the car

Those are all supposed to be grounded except for A4 and maybe D2.
You'll have to look at the circuit for D2 and see what it does, but I can't imagine that it's supposed to be a constant ground signal.

A4 shouldn't be linked to ground at all AFAIK.

Maybe, but do you want to risk burning up another ECU without going through realatively easy continuity checks on the harness?

no. were can i find diagram of the connector thats under the hood, the big round one thats near the fuse box, and what cables goes to the mainrelay, when i checked for ground there it was 3 cables that had ground there

7 and 2 on the main relay has ground, so iam gona check the fuel pump.

does anybody know were the fuelpump wire go in the car.

took out the fuelpump. and there ware connection between + and -
it should,nt be that?
but if i connect + and - to the fuelpump it works!?

kick'n an old topic. A friend of mine's ECU has the same problem. have you solved it? I was searching for the part number but I couldn't find it.

If you have found the piece, where dit you buy it?

Or could anyone else look what number is on the diode D1?
