blowing ecm/pcm fuse

i need some insight the acura is not chargin the battery. so far i have tested the alternator and that passed. i replaced that battery just cause i am so rich and i could afford that $65 (that is my attempt at sarcarsim) but after some research i discovered that the ecu fuse #4 under the dash was blown. i replaced that fuse but it will blow again if i turn the ignition on. i have tried to test for short but have come up short. would that mean that the pcm is bad or ecm and which is which? i have a 98 cl 2.3 5 speed and am checking the pcm/ecm on the passenger kick panel. what is the stuff under the rug and that metal shield? help

nobody has any insight?

well i disconnected the conenctor from the alternator and the fuse will pop as soon as i turn on the ignition...

i also looked at the wiring diagram and the #4 fuse sure does connect to a lot of stuff for just 7.5 amps..

i got a bad feeling about this....
