Exclamation Any scrap S5 ECU's? Name that RESISTOR!!!

Please help me find the value of the resitor in the attached picture. I'm hoping after replacing my OMP that I can replace this resistor that burnt out and keep from having to buy another ECU. If you have any scrap or spare S5 ECU's sitting around, please do me a favor and remove 12 screws. I'll be your best friend! 4 screws hold the cover on, 6 hold the board in once you get the cover off, and then there are two on the side you will have to remove if you remove the board that has the harness socket attached.
IF YOU CAN TELL ME THE RESISTOR VALUE, A PICTURE WOULD BE GREAT, I'LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE! BE MY HERO TODAY! WASTE NO TIME! YOU CAN DO IT!!

It's a matt grey color resistor(like the one up one row and to the left of the burnt one) and it says "0.1ΩK" and below it "G J3".I'm not a electronics person but if it took out that resistor then there is a good posssibility of other failed components in that circuit.

So it is another of the same resistor? That was going to be my guess. It could have taken out the black microprocessor, but I can get another one of those as well. Hopefully when the resistor blew, it protected anything else. It does not pass a current now, so if it blew fast enough then I may be saved. Worth a try.
Thanks for looking!

It looks the same with "0.1ΩK" marked on it,but I can't see any other markings from the way its soldered on.Give it a shot it may be just the resistor and hopefully it didn't take out the "trace" as well.

Can you make out the order of colour bands? If not, anyone with a non burnt out one? There Is a simple formula you have to follow In order to determaine the Ohm value needed to replace this resistor with.

It's better a link Is provided than typing out this mess. It's real attuniative once you start calculating the Ohmic value.

This resistor does not have any banded markings,it's body is a matt grey color.

It's probably a carbon composition one (most common). If It doesn't have any colour bands It'll have a number stamped on It or on the circuit board where the leads are soldered In.

Someone posted a picture for me in another post. I have the answer to my question now. It was a .1K ohm and it was stampped on the resistor.

if you dont figure this out, id go rip one out of a car at the junkyard for the cost they give it to me for plus shipping. and maybe a few bucks for gas lol. i dont imagine them charging very much at all.
