Thought I fried my ECU yesterday...

[C.Hermsen]

I went to go wash my car, pulled into a stall and the machine was broke, so I hop back in my car to move to a different one. Turned the key on, fuel pump didn't prime, gauges didn't sweep, and all my warning lights were on (Oil PSI, Oil temp, Water temp). Push the start button and nothing. Uh-oh.

I thought maybe the battery was bad but everything else worked, the doors, windows, trunk, radio, etc. Messed with it for a while and thought my Roe VEC was fried or something, turns out it was just an ASD fuse. Swapped it with my power outlet fuse and fired right up. Is there something that would cause the ASD fuse to blow to be concerned about? Or was it just a faulty fuse that finaly gave up?

Your ASD relay may be on its last legs... Mine did the exact same thing just before the relay gave up the ghost. Order them thru Dodge by the part number on the top and you wont get taken to the cleaners. They were like 11.00.

If you notice in your fuse box, there are several others in there with the same part number. In the event is does die bfore you get a spare you can always swap it with another one to get home.

What's the part number?

Thank you Steve. I will replace it just to be safe.
