Stalls, blows 20 amp fuse

66cp98GTconvt · 05-10-2005

My 98 gt has a problem where the car randomally blows the 20 amp fuse for fhe fule pump circuit, I can replace the fuse and drive it for a week or so without stalling, then it will act up again and maybe blow a fuse every 5 miles. Just wondering if anybody has exerienced this problem and what the solution was. Thanks

Check the fuel pump emergency cut off switch, its in the trunk drivers side, could have a bad contact and randomly melt the fuse.

Just a thought..Does this happen more when the fuel tank is closer to empty...as the fuel acts as a coolant for the pump... if so, this could be the fuel pump going bad and drawing more amps causing the fuse to blow...

Thanks for the replys, GT Raptor the contacts were tested and are good, Dart's 5.0 good thought, the fuel pump is being replaced today. Again thanks, Larry

Problem solved, found to be pinched wire from harness between firewall and engine. Larry
