Technical Cut out and blowing fuses

[Happy daze]

Hi Folks, need some help with my 2019 Florino.
Pulled off the motorway yesterday and the engine and dash lights died.
Battery ok as I have hazard and interior lights but no red ignition lights and no power to the starter motor.
Done some investigation and found one of the yellow fuses had blown.
I didn't have a spare one with me so just used the identical one near it.
I started the engine and all was fine but then it blew that fuse and back to square 1...
The mind boggles

Which engine is this 1.4
Or 1248 mj?

5 years in service is quite young..

But the main earth cable failing is a possibility,

Worth listening to the fuel pump whirr also

1248cc.
I've looked from the battery at the earth cable but seems to be fine.
I've looked to see any wires are worn and shorting out and everything looks fine.

Worth rigging up a jump lead as 2nd earth

Battery Neg and Motor

Then replace fuse and just power up for 5 minutes,

Listen to fuel pump bring fuel pressure up,

Turn on Headlights, etc

All loads WITHOUT engine started.

If all good for 5 minutes

Repeat

If confident then try again to Start the engine,

Without lights etc


This should help pinpoint your issue

May involve an Auto Electrician if it's not obvious..

Let us know what you find

Thanks...
I changed the fuel filter as this was desperately needed doing and put a new battery in, put new fuses and it seems to be ok now..
Hopefully that's the end of it now..
