The fuel pump is seizing up and drawing excess current. Check with a known good pump.

SOURCE: blows fuses

Generally speaking, a fuse 'blows' because too much current is drawn through that circuit. In this case I suspect a 'short-to-ground' or a bad voltage regulator (inside the alternator in a GMC). First, I would check the alternator's output voltage. Easiest just to look at your guage. Up to 14 1/2 volts is normal on a GM (with truck running), if it's higher - you need a new alternator. If it's under 14 1/2 volts, you
MUST find the short. Unless you have the specialized tools, (short-circuit finder, voltmeter, wiring
diagrams, etc.) this should be left to a competent automotive electrical shop. It could be as simple as a wire's insulation worn off or a short 'inside' the ECM (you truck's engine control computer). No matter what, one trip to a competent mechanic will probably be cheaper than continually replacing the computer and/or towing bills. Good luck!

SOURCE: fuel pump fuse blowing

replace the fuel pump, it is drawing to much current, this is common when the pump bearings get worn out, also make sure you replace the fuel pump connector at the fuel tank connection, it will be burnt..

Newbie here! How to install fuel pump on 96 olds regency elite?

You might benefit from the 96 Regency Elite factory service manual purportedly available by a download for $22, if scrolling through pages or using CTRL F to hunt through a PDF is something you are comfortable with. I have no idea if it tells you to check for rust in the fuel tank. https://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/281883502-1996-oldsmobile-regency-service-and-repair-manual

The Haynes group is of course more familiar and there seems an aside mention of the 96 being covered in spite of the title. https://haynes.com/en-us/oldsmobile/regency/1997-1998

Regarding videos, I encounter such for the Olds Bravada and the Olds Aurora, both 96 models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO3QkeMTwP0

Hi, 1997 Olds Regency 20amp fuel fuse blew while driving. I replaced the fuse and it drove fine for a week and now every time I put a new fuse in it blows when the key is turned on. Could this be the relay...

A short or overload. Get a wiring diagram. Find the circuit. Disconnect items on that circuit one at a time. If all are disconnected and the fuse still blows, you've got a wiring harness issue.

Why dose my fuel pump fues keep blowing

check the wiring from the fuse to the pump for broken insulation that is earthing out the wire and causing a dead short. Check for screws .pinched wires under mounts, melted wires on exhaust, shorting out in connections.

Dead battery new batt alt gr cable no fues blow jo

Common battery drain would be 1. the light under the hood staying on when the hood is closed. 2. The vanity light over the drivers sun shade if there is anything up there that is keeping the vanity shades from closing all the way. 3. pull the fuse to the rear wiper motor, common for the wiper motor to lose it's position and tries to close even when it's already closed. 4 there is a short in your 4wd encoder motor on the transfer case.
Start with the simple and check them all one by one till you have determined where your voltage drain is coming from.
Thank you for using fixya and good luck

Put in a new fuel pump car will run for awhile

either the pump has a short in it or you have a wire pinched somewhere. Unplug the pump. If the fuse does not blow then the shorts in the pump or wiring to it.
