Default electric load ecu throw code 20

last night i installed my si axles with the dx hubs on them, pumped in the tranny fluid *pumping sux, thankfully it's only 1.9*, did the usual checks, primed, started, and then took my car for it's first ride with the engine. *yes I was nearly in tears again*

one of the codes, 3 in all, it decided to throw was an electric load code.

we will have George *wiring guy* look at this also, but i was wondering if any of you have experienced this code. KJ?

thanx..angela

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

i was half asleep when spaceman dan stopped by with his pure oem crx. he mentioned the alternator as well.

maybe we used the alternator that went bad from zmr *NOT thier fault, i bought a used/as-is one from them* and not the one i got from BJ. we'll have to exchange them out and see what happens.

the codes were...

3 - map sensor *we knew this one would prob come up due to using the Y8 and moving the sensor*

17 - speedometer *oops, i didn't do it right*

20 - electrical load

*if i got 3 and 7 confused...sorry*

Either a break in wire at b19 or like Scott says bad fuse box (not fuse the whole box).
