Ok that makes it easier to troubleshoot, I made this copy earlier today for this. Either the wiring is shorted to ground somewhere between the bottom of fuse #9 below and the PCM, or the PCM is shorted internally at where its ASD Relay Output connectors connect to.
Unplug the ASD relay and see if fuse #9 blows when you turn the ignition switch on. If the fuse still blows the short to ground (like from a chaffed wire) is somewhere along the red-yellow wire between the fuse and ASD relay socket.
If it doesn't blow when the ASD relay is out but it does when the relay is plugged in, perhaps the ASD relay is blown inside. Swap the ASD relay with a different relay, like the fog light or horn relay which are the same relay design. If that doesn't stop the fuse from blowing, the short is either somewhere along the brown wire between the ASD socket and the PCM connection, or inside the PCM itself.

The ASD relay also feeds the ignition coil circuit and fuel injector circuit, the short could be there as well.
