You must change the mounting round plate that hold the fuel pump in place, I'm 100% sure that were the problem is, you needs to buy the fuel pump assembly came with the plate good lck.

SOURCE: Blowing fuse #9 in underhood

you should have checked all the wiring at the pump/sending unit inside and out as sometimes there is an indication of shorted wires.the problem is definitely at the unit either internal or external.recheck the wires.i`m assuming you mean you have reassembled every thing back together and the tank is re- installed.if not and you mean you have it out of the tank and connected it and the wires are good and not touching anything then you have a bad pump(its happened before).

SOURCE: the fuse to the fuel

unsure of where the fuse box is, but maybe the pump is trying too hard to pump fuel thru a partially plugged filter and is getting overloaded. has the filter been changed?

Caprice classic 1991 model fuel pump will not come on. fuse mounted underhood next to ABS relay blows upon contact with circuit

e fuel pump motor may have failed, causing a short and blowing the fuse. Try unplugging the fuel pump connector at the pump, then turn key on with a new fuse in place. If the fuse blows again, it could be a short in the pump's wiring. If the fuse doesn't blow, it is likely a bad pump.

Fusable link keeps blowing blown 2new ones

Sounds like there's either a short on the fan motor or on the wiring. Try and disconect the fan and see if the fuse blows then when you switch it on (of course being disconnected it wont spin). If it blows again it could be 'wire chafing' See... http://www.croberts.com/chaf.htm

If it doesnt blow then it probobly is the fan motor itself shorting out.

Just be aware just moving the wiring might move the shorting wire away from it's short as it were and the problem may seem miracilsly fixed but that maybe temporary untill the bare wire touches something again.

SAFETY NOTE
USING THE FUSE OF THE CORRECT RATING SEEMS SILLY TO SOME PEOPLE... BUT IT IS THE WEAK POINT THAT MELTS *BEFORE* FIRE STARTS.

REST ASSURED THE FUSE IS DOING IT'S JOB HERE, DON'T BYPASS IT!

Fuse keeps blowing!

The fuel injection fuse should also power the injectors. If the fuse is blowing, I would think one of the injectors has shorted to ground.
Have you checked them ?

Hi I have a 2000 ford taurus that keeps blowing the fuel pump fuse.I have disconected the fuel pump wiring near the fuel tank and it still blows the fuse.All the relays seem to be ok.if anyone has any...

Follow the wires up from the fuel pump to the front of the car. You most likely have a wire that rubbed though its coating somewhere and is causing it to ground out on the frame and blow the fuse.

Engine turns over,but no fuel pressure at relief valve.

Check the fuse to the fuel pump.
The issue is repeated blowing of the fuel pump fuse. This occurs randomly and without warning, normally when medium to high throttle is applied. Generally the RPM's will fluctuate briefly before the fuse blows, which cuts off ALL power to the vehicle.
Especially dangerous on a highway! The first mechanic found a TSB related to the fuel pump resistor, and its default location in the wheel well can cause premature corrosion. Replaced it and relocated as per the TSB.
You can bypass the resistor, it's simple and free. You bend pin 85 on the fuel pump relay #15, in your engine bay fuse and relay box. Good luck and keep me posted, at worst ti's going to be a bad fuel pump and your going to have to drop the gas tank to replace the fuel pump. When you bend the #85 pin from the relay, will set the fuel pump on high mode bypassing the resistor.
