Car died while driving

Hi All

Im at a loss here so hopefully, you experts can help me out, please.

I was driving along with no issues, then all of a sudden car just died engine stopped, and no lights at all on the dashboard.
If I turn the key to either the first or second position lights on the dash, try to start the car, it will turn over but won't start.

I have gone through...
The wiring all looks ok,
Battery tests 100%,
Fuses
Relays (apart can't find the starting relay)
Indicators will flash on the dashboard
Headlights work but not showing on the dash that they are on.

I don't know where else to look.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Ok

I think I've found the issue. The previous owner has put A 20amp fuse on the ACC circuit F/3-7.5A, which should have been a 7.5amp fuse, the 20amp fuse has heat marks on the pins, so Im suspecting it's blown the ECU or burnt/damaged wiring- What are your thoughts?

Can you just swap out an ECU for the same year etc.??

Thx
