Default Car not turning over-blown fuel pump fuse

Good night fellow MCF members I need some help....
Last week I was driving my beloved MC on the expressway when it completed shut off. I was able to swerve to the shoulder of the expressway where I later got it towed home. I searched around and through out my car. Found my fuel pump fuse was blown...purchased a pack of new one ( 15a) put it in ...car crunk right up.....bout 10 min later it died....radio works ..lights and everything else works ..the car just shut off. ( Thank God I have more than 1 vehicle). Today I dropped the tank and found the pump and wiring are in good standings so no problems there. I drove the car around the block then down the street then back down another street. it cut off ...I put another fuse in it but this time nothing. it tried to turn over but nothing.....can SOMEBODY ANYBODY WHOEVER help me out.....

Do you have a check engine light? If so what code(s) were thrown?

Check for loose ground at pump or could be a bad fuel pump relay/solenoid.

I would bet bad fuel pump relay/solenoid. Relay was probably failing and that is what blew the fuse.

Could be you have a wire grounding out. Here is what I read on another site.



Chevrolet Monte Carlo: 1995 z34 fuel pump fuse



Why would a 97 Dodge Neon keep blowing the fuel pump fuse

Agreed on checking your grounds and relay.

What about your car is the dealership referring to as not stock?

So as of this moment is the relay good? Did you check the ground? How about running a higher amperage fuse? I kept blowing a fuse for my Aux power so I took the 15A fuse & replaced it with a 25A, it's been over two years since I did that and it has yet to blow that fuse.

still haven't figured this out. I have replaced the fuel filter...the fuel pump..and the fuel pump fuse is still blowing. I have checked all the wiring from the front to the back. I have even pulled out the fuse box and checked all the wiring in there as well. This is getting annoying...
