RETed, any good at electrical problems?
No offense to anyone else, but RETed is about the only person i really trust for info.
Anyway I was driving in a rain storm and my car died after a stop sign. The fuse to the ecu was blown and when i put in a new one it blew again.I let it dry for several days and still blows it. So now what?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I could give you a more specific answer, but electrical problems are always a pain to troubleshoot.
You might want to to try and check the ECU if it got wet in the passenger footwell as a start.  You need to lift the carpet and remove the metal plate that protects the ECU under it.  There have been cases where water gets down there and shorts the wiring.
Good luck!
