Does the obd2 plug work? allot of the time it can be joined with the cigarette lighter. Check that it could be an issue. If not I would think the ecm may be shorting out?
NO.. It will not.
The ecm would be in the passenger side kick panel.
ECMB fuse
There are only two things which cause fuses to "pop," or blow. 1. Electrical current flow [amps] in the circuit which exceed the amperage value of the fuse. This would be caused by a short circuit to ground, either inside the ecmb, or anywhere in the circuit wiring. 2. Very seldom, a fuse may be defective and simply fail "on its own."j3h.
It controls shorting and overload protection for the electronic control module, the "brain" or "computer" located under the right 'kick panel', passengers side.
ECM means engine control module (the computer), and there are two fuses, ECM A and ECM B. I think if either one blows, the engine stops running, so this must be a very annoying problem. You may have a bad wiring harness by the computer, which is located just in front of the passenger door, but I suspect it is more likely a bad sensor or wiring that goes to one of the sensors in the engine. I do not have a wiring diagram, so I do not know exactly which sensors are powered from ECMB.
That controls more than just your fuel pump relay, it also controls the Oil Pressure Switch, and the ECM (Electronic Control Module). Here is the most useful info I could find for you with a diagram:http://www.justanswer.com/questions/1i49a-ecmb-fuse-go-every-time-put-one
On a 2000 Quest it is buried in the V between the front and rear cylinder banks.I would make sure it is the real problem before replacing. the sensor alone is $175 and the gaskets are $50. I was quoted 5 hours labor, so apply an appropriate labor charge and it is not inexpensive.In my case, a misfire only when the engine was hot resulted in an error code for the knock sensor. I replaced the sensor and still have the same problem.I erased the error code for the knock sensor and it has not come back, but a new error code implied the crank position sensor ($30) was bad. I replaced that sensor but the misfire when hot is still there.now there are no error codes so I have no clues as to the real problem.If you go to a dealer, I would insist on ;a. getting a print out of any and all error codes currently stored in the ECMb. allowing only the work which you have personally approvedc. getting a written guarantee that the work will fix the problemtoo many dealers do not do a good job of analyzing the real problem, fix something unrelated and then say, well, it needed replacing anyway.
