Why does my fuel pump relay fuse keep blowing on my Volvo 2005 S40

  • Kyle Steven OHare

    You mean the fuel pump fuse keeps blowing? Replace the relay ; check all wiring to the pump and the pump itself. The pump itself may be actually leaking ; thus causing continuity between + and - ; then blowing the fuse for the pump.

You either have a fuel pump relay chattering or the fuel pump is going bad. After replacing the relay, try adding a can of B&G44K fuel additive. It is the best on the market and will condition the fuel pump and injectors. Also change the fuel filter at the same time. Methenol fuel is the biggest destoyer of fuel pumps. Do not substitute the B&G, its only available at dealerships (Toyota). It might save you fuel pump replacement (expensive).

Use a meter and test the connections ,lines ,pump for damage or short

  • Joe Stanton May 10, 2017

    Fuel pump bearing failure will cause the pump motor to draw high amps resulting in continual fuse problems

  • john h May 10, 2017

    ok thats why you use a meter to determine if its a short in wiring or high amp draw from pump which would narrow problem and indicate where to start for correcting problem and a short or even an over heated relay will cause same symptoms

SOURCE: E.E.C fuse keeps blowing in 1991 Ford Explorer

if you replaced fuel pump i would look at backward wiring when replaced and i would start at the source of work if your vehicle was working fine before replacement then 9 out of 10 it will be your fuel pump wireing

sometimes when putting wireing back together the connectors have the missing clip and in turn you can turn the wireing in both directions now where positive is touching the ground on both sides of connector kris kross problem check your work this is crucial use a test light to find the right wires where they go

SOURCE: Where is the fuel filter in a Volvo S40 2005

Yes that is correct. The only filter is inside the fuel tank, and as I recall its a non exchangeable filter. It just gets replaced with the fuel pump when it goes bad

SOURCE: 2008 Ford F450 fuel pump relay fuse keeps blowing.

the fuel pump and radio are not on the same circuit, most liokely the fuel pump is shorted, that is the most common cause, get under the truck and disconnect the fuel pump connector at the tank, if the fuse doesn't blow then u need a new pump.

'91 volvo 940 turbo only go so far b4 fuel pump relay & d # 1 fuse (ignition & fuel pump) get 2 hot when do I have 2 sit 15 min. 4 d fuel pump relay & fuse 2 cool D alternator is fine what cause this

I suspect the fuel pump circuit is drawing to much power. Do you have something else hooked into those wires(Audio equip?) The fuse is there to protect the relay. Have you put a bigger fuse (bigger number) in there to keep it from blowing the fuse? If not I suspect a bad fuel pump or a stuck fuel pressure regulator(Causing the pump to work too hard- drawing more electrical power) Just remember, its hard to put the smoke back in once it catches fire.

Is there a fuel pressure regulator if so where is it located or is the fuel pump the only source of fuel pressure

Hi Richard, Im AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.

Richard, the fuel is to create the fuel pressure that is needed. But, the pressure regulator is only to keep the correct pressure at the fuel rail. On almost every vehicle the pressure regulator is either on the fuel rail "OR" on the fuel pump module inside the gas tank. If you have no fuel pressure I would suggest checking for power and ground going to the fuel pump in the tank before buying any part. Because if you have power and ground at the pump then you will need a new fuel pump. If you don't have power and ground at the pump. You'll need to check for blown fuses and swap the fuel pump relay for one that is the same type in the fuse block. Hope this helps and please visit my auto-repair-website and give me thumbs up. http://www.bigasautorepair.com/

Where is the fuel pump relay

You should find it in the fuse box in the engine bay.

S40, volvo, keep blowing a turn signal fuse

When a fuse keeps blowing everytime you replace it that means there is a short circuit along its cable. Check the flasher cables or call a car electrician to do it.

You have to inspect the fuel pump again if the fuel pump ok there is a short circuit between the relay to fuel pump the most you have to inspect is the wire inside the tank

The humming is the fuel pump still on while vehicle is off,did someone work on your car recently,cos this sounds like symptoms of a fuel pump that has been connected directly.

Have a 2.4i volvo s40 2005 lost power coming off a roundabout and wouldn,t start again had it towed home and friend plugged in a diagnostic computer and came up with code PA0089 fuel pressure problem does...

This is not always the problem. Have you changed the fuel filter, checked the relay, and checked the gas cap(This keeps the fuel tank under pressure). try these first, and hopefully this is it. hope this helps

Check engine light is on. OBD reads p0191 &

Replacement of the fuel pump would be the case here,unless the fuel filter needs to be changed.To find out,remove the fuel filter,and blow threw it with your mouth,kinda tast bad but it will tell you if the fuel filter is restricted.You should be able to blow threw it easy.
