I recently had trouble with my battery light staying on while driving and only turning off when I was stopped with the clutch in, so I did a test my brother told me about to run the car, take the battery cable off the positive terminal and if the car runs there is a problem with my battery and if it dies there is a problem with my alternator. I performed this test and I revved the engine while the battery cable was off and my car went hay-wire and died, then my dad slapped the cable back on the terminal and it hasn''t started since.

We thought there might have been something wrong with the ECU, so we wanted to do a code test, but whenever we try to the fuses in the back-up and ECU slots burn out right away, we can''t even turn the ignition on without them burning out. The car turns over but doesn''t fire. We are completely lost in what to do now so any help would be greatly appreciated.

My car is a 1990 Accord 2.2 litre
