UPDATE: 95.5 S6 Keeps Blowing 5Amp Fuse Near ECU

[John Larson]

The boxed "33" means "line 33".  See 1101, line 33.  That goes directly into
J220, the ECM.  You need to unplug the ECM and check for continuity between
the wire at terminal 18 and ground.  If there's NO continuity to ground,
then there's a pretty good chance the ECM is toast.  There MAY be a place
that can fix it, but I'm not sure.  I have no idea where that terminal leads
within the ECM, nor what other terminals interact with it.  I may have a
pinout chart in an Autodata book, although they seem to think it has a V6 in
it.  Although I suspect the startup procedure you followed is the root cause
of the problem, there could easily be an unrelated fault along the path of
any one of several wires leading to and from the motronic control unit.

I have to correct myself. I read the wrong wiring diagram.

The fuse that is blowing is S102, the 5AMP ECM fuse. It is in position 5 of
the "Electronic Box" in a red plastic housing.

It is on pages X1098 and X1105 in Volume 3 of Bentley.  It terminated in
"33"
with a box around it, etc.

I'll be trying to follow these circuits in the Bentley.

Any help to help me solve this would be EXTREMELY apprecaited.
