Fuse E6 Blown/ Short, Issue Filling Up
dbeasty replied to dbeasty's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Still troubleshooting this issue... Is there an electrical valve in the engine compartment that can blow the E6 fuse? How does it looks like and or its position and or part number for it? -
Fuse E6 Blown/ Short, Issue Filling Up

I think I am pulling wrong components out :). I took out the charcoal canister and above it is a lock to the fuel door... But upfront there next to lights there is a dual valve component with electric connections so that might be a suspect. I think the other electrically operated valve that can get stuck is in the engine compartment.

Fuse E6 Blown/ Short, Issue Filling Up
dbeasty replied to dbeasty's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for explaining. After I disconnected the workaround Porsche mechanic put in place for reed switch ( the reed switch was not available at the time) and after I pulled out the fuel vent valve ( which had one wire wired to ground) the short is not happening any more. I think that would eliminate the under seat short issue ( also the car is in garage most of the time and was not much in rain ). I will follow up with eliminating issues, the reed switch workaround might be a candidate, after that I will try to locate the electric switches #6 on the evap canister and than the #1 which should be to the right of the battery. -

Thanks for explaining the how the entire system works. ( I will make sure to add the reed switch back where it supposed to go..) I would like to bench test the tank bleeder valve from the filler neck that I took out and posted picture for. You mentioned its an electric valve, so I would expect way to power it. Are the leg screws way to power it? -

Thanks, seems like after I pulled out the vent valve the short went away, so that is where the issue is or in connectors leading to it.. How do I bench test the vent valve? I do not see any obvious electrical leads to it.

I have the E6 fuse blow, which I think is the cause for fuel vent valve not engaging and hence having issues filling up. I have detected short ( there is 12 V across the fuse ) and keeps blowing. Where would be a good places to look for the short? Or suggestion how to narrow this down. I did open the wheel well and looked at the fuel vent valve, and the wires seem to be ok there. My radio seems to be working with an aux input, but that might not be an indication of anything; also the Boxster is in the garage so should not be damped but..
