One of my engine control fuses (Fuse#13 I think) keeps blowing causing my truck to stall. My first assumption is its a short in the wiring or some part is shorting the circuit. I was driving about 55 mph on the highway the first time it blew. The next few times it blew was when I was driving slow and turning, like turning into a parking lot. I have a Haynes guide that has a wiring diagram that shows the only wire from this fuse goes into an ECM with a few dozen other wires. My questions for anyone that can help:

1) Do you think its just a wire that is grounding somewhere?

2) How do you find a short? Should I check every wire that comes out of the ECM? Any hints on how to make it easier?

3) Where is the ECM (I can’t find it anywhere in my Haynes guide)?
