The good news: I got the fuel pump working.
The bad news: It keeps blowing the fuse. I am fairly certain that the pump not the problem. I think I have a short. I have checked the fuse panel and cleaned up all the contacts there. The main harness looks fine as it goes into the tunnel and comes out of the tunnel in the engine compartment. I have checked the wires coming off the main harness to the pump. The plug to the pump looks fine. From what I can see of it, the wires also look good behind the dash. I am thinking the short may be in the tunnel. Any specific ideas of where I should look for a short that I haven't looked for already? If it is the tunnel, is there any way to check for a short in there other than pulling the entire harness out? |
