[Re: [audi20v] 95.5 S6 Keeps Blowing 5Amp Fuse Near ECU]

[Christopher Gharibo]

If the charger blew the ECU, would the 5amp fuse which is prximal to the ECU
still keep blowing.

I really think the ECU is still good and there's something else that is
blowing the 5 amp fuse which's pre ECU.

Any insight would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
