FP Issue PARTAY needed

[gn86randy]

well here is a little background of my issue....Racetronix HW 30amp fuse blew on the Alt, so I tried bypassing the HW kit and plugging straight through and the 15amp in the dash keeps blowing, no burnt wires on the header WTF over any and all assistance appreciated. damitjim

What 15 amp fuse are you blowing in the dash? Put this in general tech for more views this place is very low traffic.

You can bypass the hotwire kit and hook up the factory way. You can ohm out the hotwire harness.

I did bypass the hw kit put it back to the factory wiring and tried the test FP gray wire and it blew the fuse in my tester as well saga continues tomorrow I recon,

im here for the PARTAY!

bad pump maybe or shorted wire between the pump and connector?

 

[Chuck Leeper]

Shorted between the trunk plug and the plug at the pump...
I'm betting the plug at the pump/or nearby is fubar.
[Since you have changed power wires, the only item common, is now the jump from the trunk and the pump]
Unplug the pump.. still popping the fuse? Problem is then not at the pump.. it's further forward.
The grnd side of the pump is another place to look.

[gn86randy]

[Steve V]

Let us know what it turns out to be...

How old is the pump?Drawing too many amps? Any rodents eating off wire insulation?

Good Luck!

 

[gn86randy]

Wasn't my time is all I have to say about this one. Appreciate the help from the Man. Now its time to tune her up.

 

[Dabigguy]

Dangit.......what would cause that? maybe the connector was a little loose and caused overheating???

 

[gn86randy]

not sure but just glad it was fixed prior to exploding.

 

[Steve V]

So I am guessing that the pump was drawing too many amps and that caused the melt down? Did you put in a new pump with the new harness?

 

[gn86randy]

Yes Sir all new now.

This is becoming more common as TRs get older. This is why we manufacture new in-tank wiring and bulkhead assemblies.
