Alright gents,
My 3B S2 left me stranded today, thankfully not too far from home. Driving along merrily feeling for driveline vibrations (an ongoing issue) and the car cut out. Coasted downhill and pulled in a siding.
Quick investigation revealed both motor fuses blown, replaced them both however the left one keeps blowing now when the ignition is turned on.
The left one is fuse 27 i believe which is the ECU 12v feed, I've removed the ECU for inspection and not seeing anything untoward or any nasty smells of shorting/blown resistors etc.
One thing to note is I have the glovebox and shelf under the steering wheel off as have been drying out my carpet (water ingress, another on going issue ) so there is a mass of wires loosely hanging down. I've had a quick look at these and not seeing anything obvious, certainly not the wires that were close to my throttle foot so goodness knows what's caused these fuses to blow.
Also why would both fuses be blown on inspection but only the left one keep blowing now.
Any help with this greatly appreciated, I hate electrical gremlins with a passion!!!
Cheers lads
