My L3901HST is blowing the 5 amp fuse from the ignition to the Main ECU when I let up on the speed control pedal. Makes me think its the acceleration sensor, but why would it blow when I let up on the pedal instead of pressing down? Do you think it is the sensor or the ECU? This started when I started getting an E 20 code. I think I have that fixed since it isn't showing up anymore when I turn the key.

Maybe the the pedal/linkage is hitting the wiring harness and causing the wire to short.

Might want to consider using a circuit breaker while trouble shooting the situation.

Did you ever find out what caused this failure? I have about 500 hours on my L3901HST and have the same failure. The 5 Amp ECM fuse blows when I release the HST from forward.

You more than likely have a bad HST switch. ;)

Isn't the L3901 the same chassis as The L2501? My manual says it is located in the steering column support area.
