Hi,
Dunno what is happening but fuse # 9 keeps blowing out. This happens almost as soon as i start the car. i can let it on accessory and everything is fine. As soon as i start the car, #9 goes up in smoke... # 9 controls the turn indicators, stop lights & reverse lights. I've also wired the fuel pump for my carburators on this fuse. It's been like this for years. Everything was fine. Now this started happening yesterday. I'm kinda clueless as for how I should trace what is going on. |

did you run a power wire directly from the pump to the fuse terminal? i used to have the same setup (don't remember the exact fuse # i used), and had the same problem. i switched to the fuse that powered the cig lighter and that half assed cured the problem. i presume you're running carbs. i suggest you apply andy's jumper wire trick and utilize the proper fuse and relay existing on the engine relay board. adapting the stock pump harness to work with your pump is simple.
