My thermostat connection (MAP Cooling) wires have been hitting the subframe during hard acceleration. I had to de-pin the connector and put moisture seal heat shrink around it to protect them from hitting the subframe. It looks like the orange power wire (0.5mm) from the Junction Box (fuse 78 or 37 depending on your build date) powers the electronics in the water pump AND the MAP cooling in the thermostat. If that wire shorted to the subframe, it will pop the fuse.
Great info!
Where is that 78 or 33 fuse located?
