TL;DR:
The 15A fuse (Fuse 50) that powers the ECU and other things repeatedly blows within a few mins of driving, but once replaced (stupid, I know), the car can idle perpetually without blowing the fuse, even if you up the revs to >4000 RPM. No CEL or BCM issue reported by the car. The car was running hot on the track as expected when the fuse popped. After I found it and replaced it, the car ran for ~10 mins on the track before blowing again, when I decided to tow it. After a couple more fuses to get it off the track property for the tow and to get it to my garage, it seems like the runtime is ~2 mins before it blows, but I didn't want to keep testing to avoid damaging something. Turned off AC, radio, S-Mode, and anything else I could find before the last two fuse blowouts, so less likely that they're culprits. Also, I'm going to put a bit more info than needed here for someone's sake in the future. Tests Performed or Planned: Did some mild continuity and grounding electrical checks with a DMM and a radio electrical fault finder to no avail, all harnesses seem okay to the components listed except the few I could not get to. Used an OBD monitor w/ an experimental CONSULT function to view live data while idling or w/ ignition on.
Connector E5 (IPDM) Pin 10 (Unknown Color, will update if checked)
Request Please recommend any tests, ask for test results, suggest issues, etc. I'll also be sure to update the page once it gets solved, be it by me or my mechanic. I'm avoiding the obvious ECU swap since it works well when idling, and also I don't want to have to deal with re-tunes. Anything will help! Going to tow the car to the shop that put the mods in soon, but figured I'd try as much as I could with my time off during the holidays. I did try a dealership in case they had some better diag tools, but they couldn't figure it out (and didn't charge me) since it was "too modified" for them, whatever that means ![]() Reference Information FSM Pages:
