Default ECU Question

I know this is redundant to ask since it has appeared before on this forum, but having just installed my short ram on my 1997 accord 4cyl, I want to reset the ecu without pulling the battery. How do I find the fuse to reset it? I don't know which fuse the back-up is...

I just disconnected the negative terminal and the ECU is reset (or maybe not...correct me if I'm wrong). It's just a simple remove the washer from the bolt, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, reconnect, and test.

But for the fuse...I have no idea. I've always thought about it...but could never find it.

Yeah, Im with desert on the fuse pull reset, simply becuz I hate having to DC the battery for any reason. I hate having to reset all my head unit settings. So the fuse pull method is definitely the way to go.
