No crank, EWS delete DME (solved)

2001 325ci. I’m not sure. So replaced starter, fuses, relays, new battery. Has the correct volts. Just put in a new dme (people told me my old one was fried) and flashed a revmatch motorsports ews delete tune on it. Everything turns on (lights, radio, ac) but no crank. The e box fuse panel fuse #4 blows every time I turn the key. Why is there no crank? why does that fuse keep blowing?

Bypass the EWS internal relay will lead to damaged ignition switch contacts soon. The ignition contact should not drive the starter solenoid directly. Should add a relay to the wire.
How does that work? I'm just confused, isn't it the same 12v signal nevertheless? I've got the same setup on my e39 and it's just simple, straight signal to the starter.
There is a relay on the EWS board to reduce the current load on the ignition sw contact. You know the function of the relay is to reduce the control input current, which is the ignition sw contacts in this case. I would just add a generic relay near the EWS for this purpose. A relay should have 12v pin, input pin to EWS pin2, and output to EWS pin1 to the starter.

Hello, I am not good at electronics. Can you say me what kind of a relay it is. Will a 2 pin as used for blinker work for it or should it be the one with 4 pins. If it is the one with 4 pins could you say what pins i should use to connect it to the ews and should the other pins also be connected?
