Tanuki Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yesterday my 90TD5 died. All the symptoms were of fuel-starvation - the power faded away over a couple of hundred yards and it wouldn't restart. Engine cranks just fine. There were none of the usual pre-start whirry-fuel-pump-noises - so I checked the electricals out and found a blown 20Amp fuse in the big under-seat fusebox. Spare fuse blows after a couple of seconds. The markings on the inside of the fusebox lid identify this 20A fuse (and its 30A immediate-neighbour) as being part of the engine-management system. I'm thinking either the in-tank fuel-pump itself has seized and is drawing excess current, or the wiring to it has chafed against something and is shorting-out. Any other suggestions? --Tanuki "Gordon Brown had lots of experience of running an economy, but then Harold Shipman had lots of experience running a Doctor's surgery".

carlosbeldia Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I had this problem and the car was parked around 5 days until we found the problem. In my case, there was a short circuit in the blue header next to the fuse box. The short was caused by the extreme heat on the city combined with bad connections (the plastic get melted).

carlosbeldia Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Another time I had something like this, but problem was the 30A fuse. It resulted to be a short circuit between the two cables going to CKP sensor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
