The Inertia Fuel Shutoff switch would never cause a fuel pump to burn up. If the pump went out, it went out on its own. If it's blowing the fuse, you'll have to examine the wiring harness and ground and possibly replace the pump
This normally happens due to short in the wirings.Or if someone has connected a stereo or some other electrical contrivance to the wiring harness (bundle), either under the dash or under the hood.To confirm this unplug the fuel pump wiring connections and insert new fuse.Then start the car and see,if still the fuse blows then its a short in wiring.But if the fuse does not blows then its faulty fuel pump relay or faulty fuel pump itself.So first replace the fuel pump relay and see,if the fuel still blows then its faulty fuel pump.But if the fuse not blowing then relay was the faulty part.The fuel pump relay located on the fuse box under the hood.---------This troubleshooting tips will help you locate the fault and solve it.-------Thanks.Helpmech.
1994 Cutlass Ciera has the fuel pump located in the fuel tank. 1996 and later units could be removed via removing the back seat and an access cover but your year requires the tank be removed to replace the fuel pump.
Take care.
The twenty amp maxi fuse in the under the hood fuse panel goes to, you guessed it, the fuel pump. It sounds to me like you have a short to ground in the wiring that keeps popping this fuse. Find and fix the short, or you will keep blowing fuses.
FUEL PUMP WIRES HAS A SHORT OR FUEL PUMP BAD SHORTING OUT.BLOWING FUSE.CHECK FOR SHORT AT FUSE BOX AND AT THE FUEL PUMP WIRES.THE PCM GOES BAD SOMETIMES IT WILL SHORT OUT BLOW FUSE TO FUEL PUMP.
replace the fuel pump, it is drawing to much current, this is common when the pump bearings get worn out, also make sure you replace the fuel pump connector at the fuel tank connection, it will be burnt..
the fuse is marked ECM 1 or ECM 2 and is under the hood, as is the fuel pump relay, also these have fuel pump connector problems, did u carefully inspect the pins for heat damage?.
