Power Steering wiring diagram needed

Hey fellas, Keep blowing the 60Amp fuse (The one on the +ve Battery terminal) which is for the power steering (EPS)

Would appreciate a pic or link to the EPS wiring Schematic/Diagram so I can try to trace the problem - driving around without PS sure sucks...

Thanks

OK now that I've got the diagram, anyone want to suggest what I should check first. As stated earlier my 60 amp fuse on the battery terminal keeps blowing.

First things I would do...

Check for any exposed wiring. If that looks ok then try unplugging the main power wires on the rack and see if the fuse still pops. If it does, most likely wiring issues, if not then likely rack issues.

Thanks for the logical thinking...

Actually, YES I did and even though there's loads of info on faulty/dirty connectors, coolant overflow, harness replacement etc, didn't find anything on a blown EPS fuse or EPS wiring diagram, hence my post/thread.

Anyway thanks for your input...
