Links in the FAQ. Here's one source for S5 wiring diagrams: http://foxed.ca/foxed/index.php?page...nual#secondgen.

If you're popping a fuse repeatedly, there's bound to be a short somewhere. You can start by disconnecting devices powered by that fuse to see if it stops blowing. If it does, you've narrowed down the problem to the power wire for that specific device.

which 15 amp fuse keeps on blowing?
Just for future reference,the more you give as info,the better the replies will be.
.for example if it was an interior fuse: culprit is usually a bad cigarette lighter connector shorting out on the side of the console.,or aftermarket wiring done to install a stereo,but left loose or bare wiring that is hitting the wrong spot and creating a short.
Not trying to be an ***,but if you can provide the info,then Help is here..Guys here have been through it all,That is why the stuff is archived!.
If it has been done then it has been Fixed!.haha.
so this is the place!.
Cheers Wifey,.Old Man STYX!~

I have the same issue in an 84 ford f250. Its just a matter of ripping your hair out and the odd section of wires, somewhere in the car, lol.

On the fuse box cover it says Engine .... It doesn't blow straight away , as car can run for up to an hour just sitting in our garage , get it on the road and it lasts a mile if we're lucky also does anyone know what you do with the air pipe that goes into the standard middle box on the exhaust when you fit an after market exhaust ??? thanks guys
