Electrical problem with a 96 ford probe se 4 cyl. 30 amp fuel pump fuse blew, replaced it and kept driving. about two weeks later it blew again, so I replaced it, and this time It blew cranking over, so I put in a 40 amp fuse and it blew cranking over, so I put a 60 in just to get me off of the freeway. drove it on the 60 for about ten minutes and shut it off.... about 8 hours later I put in a 40, and drove it for about 25 minutes where it shut off again, no blown f/p fuse this time and now my f/p doesn't prime when the car is in the ON position... i swaped out the fuel pump, still doesn't work, so i jumped the fuel pump relay (labled main circuit relay nf02) the fuel pump works and i have fuel pressure all the way to the rail, but it just turns over with no start. i have tried 4 other relays, and with the relay in, the fuel pump doesn't work. however whenever i jump the relay, the fuel pump does work, yet it still wont start... im wondering if this relay is connected to something else maybe, but i cant find anything online, any help please?

SOURCE: Blows fuse wont start

More than likely its being caused by a short-circuit to ground in the wiring in your Cranking Circuit.

If it blows the fuse immediately after installing the fuse, its probably a hot-wire. If it blows it the second you try to crank it over, its probably one of the wires between your ignition and the Starter Relay.

To track down the bad wire you'll need a Wiring Schematic for the vehicle and either a Digital Volt/Ohm-Meter or Test-Light and a basic understanding of wiring which is... honestly a little hard to explain over the internet. However, that is the only course that can be taken without taking the vehicle to a qualified Dealership Technician.

SOURCE: Fuel problems sensors or relays?

I realise timing is most important related to solving problem getting or keeping a vehicle running, but i just found this site looking for info myself. So if you've not resolved the issue i suggest changing the coil pack

SOURCE: 1991 ford f-150 fuel pump will not come on

remember the switch only gets power for 1 second when u turn the key on, the common problem is the ignition starter switch comes apart, it is located at top of the steering column near the bottom, drop the column down (2 nuts) and inspect the switch for separation.

SOURCE: 1988 ranger 2.9 no fuel pressure new pump

check the pulse on the injector wire with a noid lite or a meter. If no flash then you most likely need a computer. Its called a quad driver in the PCM thats fried. You may have a shorted component that caused it to fail.

Since you say it will run if you add fuel manually I don't suspect the crank sensor because you have spark.

Where to look for the short that keeps blowing the fuse

There are a bunch of places it could be. Look for anywhere the wires go over, around or under the frame, trans bell housing. It could be a component that is bad causing a short also. I would look for a bad wire short to ground though as this is the most likely cause.

Blown Fuses - Dead 1998 Ford Escort

Try changing the fuel filter first we always change them when servicing the fuel pump anyway,its easy and cheap,if that doesnt solve the problem you will have to perform an amperage draw test on the fuel pump to insure your not replacing a good pump. Check the fuel pump relay and inertia switch and wiring also.Although possible its unlikley the fuel pump would blow a fuse consistantly without displaying any driveability problems.There may also be another component running off the fuel pump fuse have your mechanic pull a wiring diagram to find out. Good hunting keep me informed

2001 S-10, Blowing "ECM Batt" fuse after running for about 30 min

that fuse feeds power to fuel pump relay circuit that feeds pump could be defective pump,or damaged circuit wires that shorts out! and not a good idea to put higher fuse in circuit could cause more damage to circuit! but i know when your stuck, u do what it takes,so inspect circuit related to fuse,

Power windows in MPV keeps blowing fuses

you might have a short to ground problem. the circuit is complete from the battery to ground. Check the wire from the fuse to the load, and chances are there's a spot in it where the wire is touching ground.

Engine shuts off after heating up. after it cools off it restarts and runs for a little while then cuts off again. car is a 95 ford escort wagon 4 cyl. replaced the fuel pump 1 week ago.possibly a fuel...

Dont think its a relay ,this a hands on thingy so its difficult to advise.When it stops check for spark with an old plug shoved in a lead as it could be electrical,if it sparks ok then look on injection system for a faulty sensor,as the electrical resistance can change with heat.

20 amp ECM B fuse

check again the fuel pump. check the resistance if too low. or unplug the pump and put a fuse again, if the fuse will not blow, then the pump went bad again.

tnx 4 using fixya,
