2004 Outlander fear ECU dead

[fishinnnc]

I just bought this thing and got the carb all cleaned today and it was running like a champ. There was a spare hot wire hanging down that was not hooked up to anything. I found it when I took all the covers off and did the carb work. Unfortunately I forgot it as well when I fired her up after cleaning and replacing the carb. While I was running her, the wire was lying across the exhaust pipe. The exhaust got hot, melted the insulation and next thing I know I see sparks flying everywhere Bike immediately shut down and all lights went off. I have nothing on the console now when I turn the key over. I fear I have fried my ECU. I found one fuse back by the box, a 30 amp, but it was good. Are there any other fuses on these things? Is there a way to test the ECU? Could it be the rectifier or voltage regulator?

fuses up front by the brake fluid res.

remove the cover just in front of the handlebars that looks kinda like a predator helmet. the ECM fuse and relay are in there

You might have fryed the cdi box.
id trace that wire and see where it goes. you can test the cdi box. youll need a muti tester and a manual or google how to test your cdi box. hope this helps out.

I would think the fuse should have blown before it fried the CDI box that’s what it’s for protection
