Once again I'm having the problem of Fuse 6 (engine) blowing when the ignition is turned on. Only this time the symptoms are different.
I have diagnosed the issue to the charging circuit on the alternator.
If i have the brown plug on the alternator plugged in, the fuse will blow when the key is turned to position 2 (ignition). If i disconnect the brown plug and put a brand new fuse in, the fuse doesn't blow.The alternator earth remains connected.
So, is this a faulty alternator or a break in the circuit perhaps? I have traced the charging circuit and cannot find a short in it....
Thanks
