Default HELP 2002 Es300 wont start!! ignition switch fuse??

Long story short I was messing around with my ECU wiring trying to connect an o2 simulator and somehow shorted out the power wire I was using

Unfortunately the wire i was using to power my o2 sim was the ignition switch wire that plugs into the ECU. Does anyone know if there is a fuse or relay somewhere for that wire???

I checked both fuse boxes and none of the fuses are burnt. Please help somebody as my car will not start without the ignition switch providing the 12 volts to the ECU!!!

The underhood ECU/IGNITION fuse really isn't blown? Did you take it out and looK? Should be a 7.5A fuse, but I'm at work.

This may help

I just double checked the fuse box under the hood and found the culprit..a 10 amp fuse was burnt, funny thing is after finding the manual online the fuse was actually supposed to be 15 amps..changed it out and now it starts like a champ...however I found my check engine light came on with code p1130! Do u think this was caused by the install of the o2 simulator??

Could be. Disconnect the battery 60 sec. to see if the code throwing stops.
