Fingers cross. Though oil is normally non conductive IIRC?
If it still happens, might be worth unplugging and driving for a couple of hundred km, seeing as it only happens with the A/C on, and you've proven no individual fan motor is causing it.
I'm away, and not got access to wiring diagrams.
You can always unplug the compressor (single connector, from memory, underneath it, and see if that stops it blowing.
You might be onto something, however...
The fans aren't working correctly so there is an issue there that needs addressing
My bet would be SH[3705]. This is the front seat heating. It seems F29 provides power to the dashboard seat heating switches S30 and S55. From there there are connections to K183 and K184 which are the front left and front right seat heating controllers.
I had a load of problems with fuse F15 blowing. After much grief it turned out that when some lardy arsed driver moved slightly (over a speed bump for instance) it would somehow short out the seat heating, causing the fuse to blow. In my case it was F15, but both F15 and F29 feed the seat heating controllers so its possible what you are getting is similar.
The simple test is to pull out both dashboard seat heating controls (the knobs). That will disconnect F29 from the seat heating controllers. If F29 then stops blowing then it's fairly conclusive that the heated seats are your issue too.
Could fuse 29 be linked to the air conditioning compressor, which could have a fault?Er, no.
That's to say the aircon compressor may well be faulty, but it is a mechanical component not an electrical one.
Back to basics, does the fuse blow with the fan disconnected. Obviously, be cautious about engine cooling.
That isn't what I suggested. They might 'work' but if one is binding it will draw more current. They only switch on with air-conditioning or if the car is getting hot. You suggest that the fuse blows with air-conditioning.Aircon fans are in front of the radiator. Check both spin freely and report back
Thanks Doctor Gollum,
I know where the fans are and I know they are working.
The fuse blows after a few seconds when it is hot after several minutes when it is cold.
I know that the fuse don't blows when I don't start the air conditionned. And I know that the fuse blow when it's, so I think it is inside fan and not electrical cable but I'm Not sure, because I don't know how it is inside fan motor.
With the car off, spin the fans by hand. Any tightness is a problem.
All the relays are in the relay box. Andy B posted up a diagram for how to test various fan functions from a test socket in the relay box.Hello The Boy,
