I have not this type of work in several years so I may not be 100% accurate. It does sound like that circuit has a short to ground. Isolate the wires in that circuit and check for continuity to GROUND. Not continuity of the wires, electricity is definitely flowing. If your using a Fluke meter it will have this option. Also inspect very carefully any wiring harness on this circuit, if it shares a harness with a higher amperage circuit there could be a short in the harness. Like I said, it's been a while, but I hope this will provide some additional direction for you. Good luck!

Can anyone help? Number 9 fuse is blowing. When it does the rpm goes up to 2300 and stays. It won't take a new fuse they blow agian. I have checked from the idle computer under the dash to:idle control vale, temp.sensors,vacuum sol.,TPS, ect.... Have replaced all of above and still no fix. Tested for continuity, looks good. What the hell is the problem. Some help or experience would be great. Regards, Ian. 84/318i
