More than likely the fuel pump is defective and has caused a short circuit, disconnect the fuel pump connector at the top of the fuel tank and see if the short stops and the fuse doesn't blow, if this stops the short then replace the fuel pump and make sure the connector at the tank is ok and not discoloured or burnt, if it is get a repair connector from the local Dodge dealer...

Make sure the fuse is the right amperage it will be in the owners manual. or the pump maybe bad.

My 2004 dodge neon keeps blown the fuel pump fuse. Can some one help

It's either the fuel pump having the problem or you have short in the electrical wiring going back to the pump. Make sure the fuse is the proper size for the fuel system. Hope this will help you.

My 2004 dodge neon keeps blown the fuel pump fuse. can some one help

If it is working for a time and just blowing once in a while you probably need to replace the fuel pump. If it blows as soon as you put it in, then look for a short circuit in the fuel pump wiring.

Fuel pump fuse keeps blowing on 99 dodge neon. Changed relay, but didn't help. Fuel pump or something else? It mainly does it when you hit the brakes.

Usually if a fuse blows when applying something else( brakes) indicates they are on the same circuit. Verify the brake lights don't work when the fuse is out or blown. If lights still are working then it's probably not related. If on same circuit then the extra load of the brakes is enough to blow the fuse. Insure you are putting in the correct fuse. Also, this indicates you fuel pump is in a strain either due to restricted fuel filter or worn pump. Replaceing the fuel filter now will only buy you a little time before the pump goes on out. It's blowing fuses because it's drawing more amps in order to run, but always replace filter when replacing pump.

Start by checking for a wire shorting to ground if that checks good you will need to go thru the circuit and check the amp draw at each component, fuel pump,ignition coil,ect. until you find the bad part
