VW golf mk5

[Kazaki]

Hi all I currently have a Mk5 golf with no heater blower working it keeps blowing the 40amp fuse IV tried a new heater blower out of another golf it's not that IV even replaced the resistor I have tried unplugging the blower and turning it on and it gets to 1,2 fine but doesn't work the blower and when I try setting 3,4 it just instantly blows the main 40amp fuse for the blower I am so lost on what it mite be any help would be greatly appreciated especially since the snow and ice is here.

So it blows fuse SC40 on speeds 3 and 4 even with the motor unplugged? What about when the resistor is unplugged?

[Kazaki]

No it doesn't blow at all on any setting but the fuse only blows when it hits setting 3,4

[Kazaki]

Even when and resistor and blower are unplugged it still blows the fuse.

I can only see that being damaged wiring from control panel to resistor or a short inside the control head.

Is that the dial settings in middle of dash?

[Kazaki]

I can see myself pulling out the whole dash 🤦

I would remove the control panel and with the wiring unplugged from the panel, resistor and fan, check for a short to ground on each wire.
