Blowing fuse #5

I have a 2001 X5 4.4l. Just replaced alternator, theromstat, and belts. On check ride to test car, battery light came on again. Drove car to my garage and shut it down. After shut down, tried to start the car and engine will not crank. After an extensive search found on the internet, found out that fuse#5 might be the problem. Replaced fuse #5, still blowing fuse. Disconnected oil level sensor, still blowing fuse. Does anyone know what components are related to fuse #5. Thanks in advance.

OK. Finally got WDS to work on computer. Here's what I have so far:
1. Disconnected oil level sensor. Have short between pin 2 and pin 7 of connector x6053 (black on pin side)
2. Still blowing fuses.
3. Items connected with fuse 5, Oil level sensor, e-box fan, Generator
4. Items on x6053 pin side connector Pin 2 to oil level sensor, pin 7 to starter
5. According to WDS pin 2 on oil level sensor is ground, I get no ground.

So there could be a broken wire for the ground and shorted wire some between pin 2 and pin 7.

I think I have it fixed now.
1.Found a problem with alternator wiring. Looks like it melted on something hot, near the alternator. Separated the wires and did continuity checks on oil level sensor, alternator, and e-box fan, all good.
2. I do not get a short across pin 2 and pin 7 of connector x6053.
3. Found the ground for pin 2 on the oil level sensor.
4. Fuse 5 did not blow when I turned the Key and the Park is highlighted on the dash board, before all the lights on the transmission indicator were just dim.
Now to charge battery and see if it will start. I'll give you an update when it starts. Lucky me, I almost sent it the stealer for a new wiring harness. That would have cost big bucks. I'm only into this repair with new alternator (399) at advanced auto, new thermostat (91) at advanced auto, electrical tape, some fuses and a whole lot of time.
What saved me was the BMW WDS.

Using wds V12 on internet explorer 32-bit. SVG viewer only works with 32-bit explorer and load java 32-bt. After you choose language, go to tech requirement and do systems test. That will tell you if explorer, SVG and Java are configured properly.

BTW: The X5 started. I probably need a new battery, but it started. Now to put it all back together.

1. mount wds iso or load wds dvd
2. open internet explorer 32-bit
3. go to file, open, (location of "index.htm" of wds
4. select language
5. you will be at model selection page
6. click on techn. requirements located lower right side
7. click on start system test located on the left page
This should test your setup and let you know if its working, does java and svg test.
Hope this helps.
