Last night I tried to start my 914 to move it out of the garage...and it didn't start. When I turned the key, the auxiliary fan came on because the lever was pulled back. I turned off the fan, then proceeded to start the engine and it just cranked. I turned off the key, then turned it to the on position. This was when I noticed the fuel pump didn't come on. Why? During my check I discovered the rear fuse of the two on the relay board in the engine compartment was blown. A little research told me that this fuse is for the fuel pump and aux. fan.
So, I disconnected the fuel pump, put in a new fuse and it blew when I turned the key. Another new fuse, reconnected the fuel pump, disconnected the aux. fan, turned the key and the fuse blew again. It's not the fan. What is causing this? I drove the car in there less than two weeks ago!! It's strange that the aux. fan came on the first time I turned the key. Now it won't work with the fuse blown. Somebody please help me. I have to move everything out of this rented garage tomorrow. This includes my 914. I'd rather not have to tow it if that can be avoided. |
