Re: Total shutdown with elect power suging and fried fusible link
So that you do not keep using up fuses, connect a 12 volt bulb in place of the fuse. If with the ignition ON, there is a short circuit the bulb will light up. If you clear the short the lamp will go out. Do you have one of those cheap test lamps with probes?
Regarding fuse 16:
The ignition coils are supplied via fuse 16. Disconnect the grey colored 8 pin plug B4 from socket E3 which you will find on top of the engine towards the rear and connected to a lead running through the bulkhead. See if the short circuit remains.
Are there any aftermarket accessories which have been added to the car, and which only operate when the ignition is turned on? Is there any wiring left in place which could have been left over from an accessory which has been removed and which could be shorting?
In my past experience, when everything electrically was working as it should and then a problem or symptoms suddenly appears, think back to the last thing that you did before the problem occurred. I have undone a mod or two and the problem went away.
