SOURCE: Chevy silverado keeps blowing fuses

sounds like a mouse has got in and chewed the cables,their is no easy fix from what i can think of but check all the wires and connections in case water has got into it,or snow if your in alaska.its fifteen years old now so its possible that some insulation has broken down or a wiring loom has chaffed somewhere underneath

SOURCE: power seats will not operate the circuit breaker

Obviously power is being drawn by something, perhaps motor is stuck, shot , or switch is faulty. If you can get to motor wires & test for voltage, even by poking with a test light. There should be no voltage to motor on either wire, until switch is pushed. It will supply voltage to 1 wire, then the other, when switched to opposite direction. just reverses polarity. The switch may be faulty & supplying voltage to motor, and telling it to rotate in direction that it has already went as far as it can.

SOURCE: 2002 Chevy Silverado 3500 Fuel gauge reads 1/2

If this was not a problem before the pump replacement then the sender in the tank may of faied or is contaminated with sulfer which is corrosive to the silver electrical contacts.

Do a search on sulfur corrosion and fuel sender units. Gm has big problem with this. Its possable the stress from removing the old and installing the new pump created an issue with contacts. If this is the case you will now need a sender unit.

Common problem on the 03-06 Silverado instrument clusters for the fuel gauge to go out. It's usually caused by one of two main problems, either the stepper motor on the cluster's circuit board is going out or the sending unit on the fuel pump is going out. Check out this blog post about the problem - Silverado fuel gauge problems

I own a 2003 chevy silverado diesel dullay 4x4 and none of the controls work for the passenger side window, I need a wiring diagram.

Hi I have a 4x4 2003 chevy 3500 silverado dually with dual tanks
rear tank stoped pumping into front tank and was full . I siphoned the fuel out of rear tank and fuel gauge reads 9/16 full . is there a way to reset the fuel sending units so they can calculate the fuel readings. I always filled the two tanks with the same amount of fuel
until now ? I'm thinking there is a inkine fuel pump
