Correct. Something would have made the ECM go bad.
Can you post a pic of the ECM? you might be able to see the PCB for a bad spot.

If I remember my electrical trouble shooting 101 it just could be. I would do everything I could to make sure before I spent the $$$ for a new one. I had good luck with eday and Amazon parts for my Kawasaki. I would attempt to get a Honda part if it is to be had.
Just could be. You know how he is. LMAOIs he talking about me again?

If water got into one of those connectors could that of caused it to just turn off while riding, and blow the fuse???
If water completed the circuit between the power lead and a groung yes it could blow the fuse. If you got water in a connector dry it with a heat gun or a hair dryer. Put dielectric grease on the connector. Plug it in and see if it blows. If you haven't done it yet you need to put dielectric grease in all the connectors. You can get it at any parts store. I get mine at Walmart in the automotive section where the head light bulbs are. They call it bulb grease. Just wondering. Have you checked to see if you are throwing any trouble codes? I don't know how it works but there is a thread on here about it.

It's a 2015 , I checked all wires and I don't see anything, but leaning towards the water got in and blew it, just ordered a new ECU, wasn't to bad, so will see what happens when it gets herw

Don’t overdue the dielectric grease. It’ll hydraulically push the connector pins out of the housing.

So I have been working on my 2015 P5 over the past week and removed interior plastics and floor and unplugged my PGM-FI (ECU) and set it aside on the work bench. Completed wiring to support dual battery and turned my dual battery switch from Off to On to restore power to electrical. Tried to turn the key to check power and...nothing. Mounted the fuse block up front so checked for power and I had AUX power. Then checked stock battery where I extended power and ground and I had power. Hmmmmm
Sat there contemplating what I could have done wrong and then realized I did not have the (ECU) connected. So I grabbed it from the bench and carefully plugged it in and the turned the battery switch again from Off to On and then tried turning the ignition switch again and this time...
Power...Glorious Power
So I told this story after reading the last few posts about disconnecting it and the P5 still wanting to start.
Assuming they can’t start with a disconnected PGM-FI (ECU) as mine could not. I think this would indicate a short somewhere. What do you guys think

Hey everyone and sorry about the delay, i just got the ecm i ordered, plugged it in and everything works now, i am definitely going to make those connectors stay dry from now on and hit them with the grease. Just want to say thanks for all the help narrowing this down.. cant wait to have it out riding again in
