The service manual is fairly accurate - what needs to happen here is for SOMEONE to grab the service manual, and use it to intelligently isolate the cause of the blowing fuse.
Good luck with this, I doubt the 'mechanics' in the UK are any better than those over here, when it comes to diagnosing a simple blown fuse.
ANYONE chasing this and NOT referring to the diagrams in the service manual is wasting their time.
I concur....
Pull out the service manual and begin isolating components powered by fuse 37. First check to see if there is ground continuity in that circuit. That will let you know if you have a short to ground. If it is not a short to ground, it means something in the circuit has an amp draw beyond what the circuit is rated for, and it's popping the fuse. In this case, unplug the components one at a time and check with a fresh fuse.
That's how I would do it anyways. Wiring diagrams can be confusing, but will point you in the right direction. Isolating components give you a sure fire way to figure what is causing your issue.
