Short circuit check

Check the resistance between the fuse holder secondary side (left) and ground.

The ohmmeter should display an open circuit.

If the value is correct, replace the fuse (NB In this case the fault may be intermittent).

If the ohmmeter indicates a fault (short circuit), trouble-shoot all the relay circuits involved for a short circuit to ground as described in Short-circuit to ground, permanent faults .

HINT: The relay circuits involved belong to relays 2/111, 2/112, 2/113, 2/114, 2/115, 2/56, 2/59 and 2/67. 

Remove one relay at a time and check the resistance to ground from 5 and 3 on the relay socket to find out which circuit the fault is in.
