    Question vl won't start, no lights on ecu..

    Hey, as stated, my project vl won't start.
    It was running fine. Had it off, then went to start again n it made a werid cranking noise, then the positive on the battery started smoking now it won't start. Checked the ecu n the lights arnt on, done all the relays n fuses n still no luck, tried another ecu n still no luck. You also can't hear the fuel pumps prime. Ne1 got ne ideas? Is there ne hidden fuses or relays I might not know? Its a rb30.
    Thanks

    fried ecu...?
    only way the ecu is protected is by a fuse soo if u have used a higher rating fuse as a Bandaid fix once b4 (or previous owner) it could have fried it...

    should have some light going on...
