[s-cars] S6 starting problem - ECU fuse

[Gabriel Caldwell]

A while back I had to redo my MAF wiring because of broken wires.  I
inadvertently switched two wires.  My car would not start, but thanks to
UrS4.com I remembered that if the check engine light does not come on,
the car does not see the ECU.  I found the blown fuse but it kept
blowing until I fixed the MAF wiring.  Doesn't sound like you rewired
anything, but I'd check out the wiring in the MAF area.  I'm coming in
to this late, so if you already did so, my apologies.

bill (and s-car list),

i have checked the 5 amp ECU fuse and i finally found a blown fuse,
which i was hoping was a good sign. i unhooked the neg. battery
cable, inserted a new 5 amp fuse, but once i reconnect the neg.
terminal, it blows the fuse immediately. i'm unaware of anything
i might have done to cause this situation. most of the work was
routine (including CV boot, tie rod end, new stromung exhaust,
pads, rotors, hoses...), but i also fabbed up a CAI. the MAF is
hooked up fine and nothing else seems problematic. any thoughts
on what might be blowing the 5 amp ECU fuse? honestly, i'm at
a lose.

thanks again for any help.
