[s-cars] RE: Audi S6 No Start

Upon further inspection, I think it MIGHT be fuse S102 which is shown as an
ECU fuse and it is 5 amp on page x841 of the Bentley.  It looks like it is
tied into another fuse also S61 which is the Refrigerator/Water Pump/socket
fuse.  Or they at least get power form the same wire

OK guys.  I've disconnected the coils at the firewall.  The fuse still
blows.  I was thumbing through the Bentley and the fuse is identified as S64
on page J  24-28 in Vol 1.  I went to the wiring diagram (which I'm not that
good at understanding) and on X 848 it identifies that fuse as going to the
luggage compartment release switch and the Decklid central locking system
monitor.  WTF!  The fuse I am blowing is 5 amp, the book shows it as a 15
amp, and the wires look to be the right colors.  None of the other fuses on
top of the ECU are blown.  I think the book shows 3 and I have 4, and I am
looking under the AAN section.  I know someone has been in there before as
the rug was cut, but it wasn't me.  And the car ran fine like this for
years.  I'm tempted to put a 15 amp fuse in there and see if it blows that
too. 

Does it sound like a central locking system fuse could cause this problem?
The locks do work I believe

Agreed - sounds like blown ECU fuse.  Now, WHY did it blow?  Had a recent
experience with same problem mine was caused by a completely blown coil
which dead shorted the B+ voltage to ground.  Blows that fuse every time.
:-(  Repairs?  Replace dead coil.  You have the exact same problem?  Dunno
but it's a possibility.
