Check all fuses (both fuse boxes) and replace the fuse at the battery also if you haven't already.

 

Did it look anything like my battery?

 

nope, i found a used ECU for 200 bucks, going to get it tomorrow..once i get the car in complete running order, i'm selling it...so look for parts being parted off...i've discussed it with my fiance and i'm walking away from this car...
