Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Help please. My 2002 manual Targa has been down for 3 months. It started blowing the C 2 fuse when the key is turned on. This is the one that controls the O2 sensors and the Fuel Injectors. I have gone through all the wires looking for shorts and there are no visible shorts. If I remove the relay and put in the fuse nothing happens. I have unplugged the DME with a similar result of the fuse not blowing. it has changed a little in the last few days where now the fuse blows as soon as it is inserted, with the ignition off. I have replaced the relay with no effect. I am leaning on thinking that it may be the DME but that will be expensive to do. Before I do that, I want to test all of the wires in the engine bay. That will be a bit of work to test all of the injector wires. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this?

POST 2Original post

check the wires to the fuel pump under the battery tray. those can abrade away the sheathing and expose (and sometimes break) the copper wire...might be getting a short related to the fuel pump?
