P0410 is a fault of the A.I.R. pump and nothing else. AIR pump adds air to the exhaust stream to lower emissions. It does this by taking in outside air and pumping it through two one-way check valves into each bank of the exhaust. About 90% of the time that this code is set, the one-way check valves have worn out or failed and allow water (which occurs naturally in the exhaust) back into the pump. In any cold climate,especially in the northeast with higher humidity, this water may be more excessive. The waterpartially fills the AIR pump, it can then freeze. When the PCM commands the pump on, if the pump isfrozen it cannot turn, thus overloading the circuit and "popping" the fuse. As far as the location of the fuse, it is in the right front fender well beside the battery, and in front of the horn thereSometimes replacing the fuse will fix all your problems and you are all set until next winter when it all happens again. GM says that when this system failure occurs due to water intrusion, the pump MUST be replaced. I have had decent luck just blowing the pump out with direct power provided by a test bettery out of the vehicle, and saving some money. Also, sometimes water is allowed to enter the pump through the intake side of the system (just a 5/8" hose behind the fan shroud) and ruins the system that way. GM has also released a remote air intake kit that includes a longer 5/8" hose, a control solenoid, and a one-way check valve to eliminate most possibility of water intrusion. Good luck and hope this helps, Keep me posted and be glad to help.
This should help you some. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0410
