Sounds like the wire is touching somewhere against the body
Check the harness under vehicle by the gastank, unplug it and test for fuse blowing. Test input to tank for dead short.
Some vehicles have a removeable plate under back seat for accessing this area. Most you would have to lower the gas tank being careful not to break fuel lines and an impact will be necessary to remove bolts and if these break a threaded rod with washers may be necessary by poking a hole through the floor to attach strap back onto it. Support gas-tank with a jack with board on it. Hopefully not too much gas as it's heavy stuff if you have to drop the tank to replace fuel pump.
Some places try to sell you a 3 or 400.00 unit when all can be taken apart and replaced with a good pump and not the sending unit included. just make sure is for the right size engine.
I suspect that a wire is shorting out somewhere, typically where it exits the vehicle to the fuel tank or under the Power Distribution Unit which is where the fuses and relays are under the hood, typically near the battery.
Some vehcicles the ECM or Computer moves around and the harness gets frayed or shorted near it against the body of thecar but us-ually within 2 feet of the ECM itself.
Youtube can give yuou more details

You might just need to replace your fuel pump. If you can hear the pump run, I'm not sure what pulling the fuse is supposed to do for you? The pump is just an electric motor, it either runs or it doesn't.

Does a 2001 Saturn S Series have a fuel pump reset button? The fuel pump can be heard, the relay switch clicks and the fuel pump fuse is good.

No reset button check to see if the fuel filter is old. I had one that was clogged up and we had changed the pump for nothing.

2001 Saturn LW200 Accessory Power Outlet doesn't work. Fuse good

Accessory outlet, like a lighter plugin? Wild guess compressor draw is too much for the connection, something has "burned" somewhere.

Fuel pump fuse blow when I turn the ignition on and cranks but no start, why?

Unplug the connector at the fuel pump. Install a new fuel pump fuse. Try to start the car. Does the fuse blow? If not that the problem is probably a bad fuel pump. If the fuse does blow with the pump disconnected than you need to look for a short in the power supply to the fuel pump.

Fuel pump fuse

It sounds to me that the wiring has shorted out somewhere and is causing a surge. Check the wiring from the fuel pump and make sure it is all correct, then check the wiring coming from the fuse.

My fuel pump fuse lasts for about 20 miles then blows again on my audi a4 1600 1997

I think your fuel filter is clogged, causing the pump to run too hard. This draws excess current and blows the fuse.

Fuse blown on cigarette lighter Saturn 2001

It sounds like you have a bad charging cable for the GPS or the cable is overloading the cigarette lighter.

The cigarette lighter is designed for less power then a 12v power outlet.

Therefore it is easy to blow the fuse for the cigarette light if you install something that draws too much power.
