What Causes Brakes To Keep Blowing Fuses?

[moose]

Does anyone know why my brakes would keep blowing fuses? It sometimes will run for a long while and then other times it will blow a fuse.

Are you talking about the pump motor? I have another one of those if thats what your talking about. Could the switch actually cause it to blow a fuse? If so, How? Is it maybe letting the pump run to long? I thought the relay on the pump actually shut it off when the pressure reached a certain hight, Or is that the switch shutting it off also as well as turning it on?

if the motor is going bad it will pull too much current and pop a fuse.

if you still have problems call John at Casper's, he got me thru a funky electrical problem with my brakes at the Nats 2 yrs ago. That guy is a GN electrical genius and he doesn't mind helping.
