Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Checking For A Short-Circuit
Measure the resistance between the fuse holder secondary side (left) and ground.
The ohmmeter should read infinite resistance.
If the value is correct, replace the fuse.
Fault-trace all affected relay circuits for a short-circuit to ground if the value is incorrect.
HINT: Replace fuse.
HINT: If the fuse blows immediately the short-circuit is in the relay power cable.
HINT: If the fuse blows when the relevant relay is activated, the short-circuit is in the component power supply cable
HINT: The relay circuits affected are from relays 2/111, 2/112, 2/113, 2/114, 2/115, 2/56, 2/59 and 2/67.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
