You should always replace fuses with the same rated fuse as the one removed. Most likely if it keeps blowing the same fuse something in that circuit is directly shorted out.What fuse is it that keeps popping?

    Missd the fuel pump fuse blowing but neverless something in the circuit is directly shorting out or the pump is drawing to much amperage.

1997 jeep grand Cherokee keeps blowing 20 amp fuse under the hood cranks but no start

A fuse that keeps blowing means you have a short. Inspect the wiring that goes to the fuel pump. It can also mean there that the pump is defective.

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.

My 2002 f350 diesel keeps blowing the fuel pump fuse every couple of miles. What is causing this? I changed the filter and it made it worse.

the problem could be the fuel pump fuses only blow when they are overloaded ie. if you have a 15 amp fuse & the fuel pump or whatever is drawing 20 amps the fuse will blow,if you are using the right amp fuse the fuel pump is drawing too much power & may be faulty or there is a problem with the wiring, a loose connection or the like.....hope this helps....cheers

My 1997 k1500 5.0 keeps blowing the fuse for the fuel pump,the pump was put in about 6 months . i track a grey wire from the fuel pump RELAY through the back but don't know to what it gose to,i cut the...

that gray wire is the fuel pump power supply . You cut the wire were an positive tested it ??? An what does that mean . you positive tested it ? Wish you people would learn to talk like a mechanic would ! If you cut the wire near the relay an checked with a ohm meter or a test light with B+ volt , of couse it going to show ground ! It's going through the fuel pump windings to ground on the other side . What fuse keeps blowing ?ECM B - 20 amp ? This powers the fuel pump as well . May not even be the fuel pump circuit blowing the fuse . You need to find everything that fuse powers and isolate the different circuits . Videos on youtube showing how to find a short .

Blowing fuses jeep wont start

use a circuit breaker or paper clip with pliers so you do not burn yourself use paper clip as fuse unplug engine controll sensors 1 at a time and check if problem is gone after each one is unplugged an engine controll sensor is most likely shorting out if you have a map sensor try that first then move on to other components tps,fuel pump ect. till you find wich is fauly causeing short this should help you just be carefull with paperclip am saying to do this instead of blowing expensive fuses

Fuel ECU fuse keeps blowing (30 amp)

Your fuel pump is internally binding and causing the fuse to blow. Change the pump (and filter while you're back there.)

2002 Dodge Neon 20 amp FP/ASD fuse #21 keeps blowing

It appears that it is part of the fuel pump circuit, so I would concentrate on wiring harness & connector at fuel pump, clean it real good, and apply dielectric grease to the connection, as well as the fuel pump relay, connector & harness.

2002 Jeep chrokee

Verify fuse is correct size, then see what you are turning on else when it blows. Fuel pumps are designed to pump up then shut off, until needed when starting and running. It might not be shutting off and staying running when vehicle is not running. Make sure ground circuit is in good shape and positive side as well. Does this blow fuses when you go to start, or does it start and run for awhile then blow?
