Default Daily driver Problem Please HELP

I figured I would post this question in here.

I have a 99 ford contour se 2.0L daily driver. Recently the alternator went and I replaced it and the battery. It drove for a day and then stopped. Now the car turns over, but does not start. It has no spark, the power windows / locks do not work when key is engaged. Neither do the fans for the heater or anything. The dumb megafuse they have on there is fine. Battery is fine. All the fuses are good as far as i can see. I am running out of ideas. Only thing i know that is left is the ECU.

Anyone have any Ideas???? Plase help


Mods- If this thread needs to be moved just let me know where. Thank you.
