Dead short on S2 Avant circuit 19

[shark_90]

All

I posted recently about my central locking problems and I have still not resolved them. There is now what I believe to be a dead short on circuit 19.. as soon as I put a fuse in there's a blue spark and the fuse wire burns. It looks to me like there's a lot of power going through it and so I'm guessing it's a dead short.

Does anyone know what, apart from the central locking, is on fuse 19? I unplugged the central locking pump and the fuse still blows immediately, so I know it's not the pump itself causing the problem. I will have to put a weekend aside to attempt to trace the wiring I guess.. something I'm not looking forward to!

Any help appreciated

fuse 19 is central locking and alarm

An internal fault on F59 or F114 could cause a short thru F19. If you diss the 'B' connector at the pump unit (V94) and the fuse keeps blowing then disconnect that earth strap (105) which I think is commoned at or near V94 - that would point at one of those door switches causing the short.

I haven't had chance to look yet, but I should have chance tomorrow night.

Paul, could you explain a little more about what the numbers mean, because I'm afraid you've lost me totally!
