Does the backup sensor fuse do anything else?

On my '06 cabrio, the fuse for the Park Distance Controller (i.e. "Backup Sensor") blows every few weeks. When I replace the fuse, the system works fine until the fuse blows again.

Should I be looking for a short in the Park Distance Controller system itself, or is there some other subsystem that's also covered by the same fuse? I seem to have a foggy recollection that the same fuse powers the power steering pump fan, but I haven't been able to confirm that anywhere.

It's fuse F40, and the only thing depicted on the fusebox cover diagram is the Park Distance Controller.

Perfect link - thanks! I'll get under the car and check how the power steering pump fan is doing.
