Hello I finally got my van converted and have moved out. Me and the lady have made it to Galloway Forest and broken down.
I am expecting a recovery on Monday morning to Newton Stuart but I believe we can fix it before then and would love some input from you guys. The more heads the better!
Scenario, Mercedes Sprineter 311 CDI 2001 we took bumpy gravel track for 30 mins then back on the road a while later the main ECU fuse 25amp slot 16 popped. We pulled over not knowing what had happened at first.
We keep popping fuses every time we reach the second click on the ignition. With the ECU plugs at the left side when looking at it detached the fuse does not pop.
I have tested the points either side of the fuse and one of them is continuous with earth. So presuming only live wires enter and leave the fuse box I am supposing that the feed to the ecu has worn somewhere and is earthing.
This is as far as I have got. Any input would be amazing right now. Correct my methods so far/make new suggestions/point me in the direction of an ECU wiring diagram. Anything would be appreciated right now.
Thanks ?
