yeah. Kinda strange. Does the ECU only operate the transmission? Or could it effect whats going on here?

While you're under the hood, trace the wires back to the connector they run through on the passenger fender. It's like an 8-port connector with the two yellows in and out, I think it's covered in loom normally. Due to the current they draw and the crappy plastic Ford used in this era it's a common melting point. May even be where the short is!
Best thing to do is cut them out and connect them together outside the connector to keep shorts/melting from happening later.

correct. the white wire is the ground/trigger wire for the relay. disconnect the two yellow power feeds.

shure was! It melted through and the wires right next to the main power wires were making contact causing a back feed of some kind
