    I used this forum to diagnose an intermittent fault with fuse 3 blowing on my 2002 ford galaxy 1.9tdi (a sharan by another name).
    I hope my experience will be useful to other owners having the same problem.
    If you replace the fuse with a standard 12V 21Amp tail light bulb on the end of a piece of wire, the attached circuits work normally, but the light comes on when the fuse "blows". I found that the fault occured when I went over a bump, pot hole, etc. further investivation using a mallet identified the area around the auxilliary heater just in front of the rear near side wheel. On removal of the heater I found the mounting had rusted and the wiring to the heater was shorting to the chassis when the heater moved. Hope this helps.

    Hi everyone, I know it's been some time but I had the same issue with speedo not working abs light on etc. Fuse 3 kept blowing and this all happened after attaching towbar. Turns out fuse 3 is also for parking sensors and underneath the bumper I saw that wires were exposed by the connector which was shorting on the new bumper bar.

    Bit of electrical tape around the exposed wires and she was working just fine!

    Hope this helps!

    Additionally for the parking sensors, which is what I discovered was the issue today!
