Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 16" it has liquid damage. With the power supply I only get 5.181 volts only on one USB-C plug! Left and right. See pictures.

LOL.
Remove both F7000 and F7001 fuses off the logic board.
No power to the logic board.
Measure the resistance to ground again using the fuse pads. We wish to know, is the short to ground on the power rail producer side or consumer side.
Post the measurements.

Re: MacBook Apro 16" A2141 Just 5,181Volt
we have 11,5m ohms at pin1 and 0,35ohms at pin2
The fault is on the consumer side of this power rail due to the very low resistance on SMD pad # 2.
Confirm there are no shorts from this fuse removal and apply power again.
Meter in voltage mode -> check the voltage @ SMD pad # 1.
What voltage do you read with the meter ?
If this does not equal to PPBUS_G3H then most likely, U7000 is defective but need to do other checks.
Then, need to review where is the possible part that is shorted on this logic board. Voltage injection may be a good choice @ 0v8 with a power supply but wait till we confirm U7000 first.

Very good. Your U7000 appears to be alive but gets shutdown due to the excessive current draw from the low resistance = 0.35 ohms.
Short is downstream. Would you have a current limited power supply ?
Dial up 0v8 = 0.8 volts and try @ 2A and inject this onto pad # 2. This is because something downstream that is shorted. It could be a capacitor or perhaps a chip.
Using alcohol / thermal camera - review which part gets hot. Leave the voltage low (on purpose) so to not kill a low voltage device that may be shorted to this rail.
Suggest to apply the voltage and then remove and check for any warming of a component on the board. If required, increase the current but go slowly.

Do you have a variable power supply ? Need to keep the voltage low - just in case there is a short downstream to a sensitive component.
Suspecting a shorted tantalum capacitor but we do not know at this time.
If yes to the adjustable power supply - select at 0.8 volt (we want to keep it under 1 volt) for now. Then check for any part that is getting warm / hot to the touch or can mist alcohol. It is safe to pour alcohol over the parts you suspect and check for a quick dry of the liquid.
Red power supply lead on fuse pad # 2 (the one with the low resistance) + black power supply lead to ground.
