UNDER-HOOD FUSE/RELAY BOX *Has replaceable ELECTRICAL LOAD DETECTOR (ELD) UNIT.

Also you can go to Autozone and have them run a FREE performance test on the Alternator / Charging system.

Just pull it out and replace it. The ELD just turns the alternator output on and off. And yes the ECU could be faulty.

I had an si that would blow a fuse and not stay charged, I can't remember which one it was but it was for the speed sensor/ o2 sensor/ altenator. The o2 sensor was actually grounding it self to the body.... So try looking for a fuse first always the cheapest fix lol...

which wire of your was unplugs, was it the sensor on the engine..lmk, i check all the plugs on the engine it all plug..
well today i unbolt the fuse box and found the wire under it have been cut and reconnect..it might be some wire that are loose from being reconnected..i check it out tomorrow and see..
