Bad vacuum and or vacuum should not affect the fuel pressure and cause no fuel and no pressure

If you hear the pump coming on and no fuel pressure
Have to check fuel pump module inside the tank and the hoses that connects it to the outlet
When 1st key on and or when cranking the fuel pump should come on

My fuel pump is not working, but I dont belive it is out. I noticed the (fuel pump) fuse under the hood was blown. So I replace it, I drove about 100yard and the fuse blew again. I once again tried to replace it and this time it blew as soon as I turned the car over. I'm guessing the wiring is grounding out somewhere, but I can figure out where. Any ideas? Also, I was thinking of running a wire from the pump to the battery (or fuse box). Would this work? If so what one is the positive on the fuel pump, theres 4 wires. 2 blacks, a blue, and a black with white stripe.

Any help would be great!

Note* To access the fuel pump is on the bottum of the fuel tank. No need to drop the tank (wierd I know)

Welcome to the forum, that fuse supplies voltage to the fuel pump relay--asd relay--pcm. The asd relay supplies voltage to the coil primary--injector/s-- 02 heater circuit, maybe one or two more. You might unplug the relays one at a time, see if the fuse still blows. I have heard of the 02 heater circuit shorting out causing a problem. Unplug all the 02 sensors, see if it makes a difference? Any codes? We appreciate the donation.

Hi, if the problem is on the asd relay circuit, the vehicle won't start even if you run the pump all day. If the pump itself is blowing the fuse, it isn't safe to wire around anything. I'm a member of this site and have been told not help bypass anything. I'll talk to my boss.

Hey again, if you use a jumper wire from battery voltage to the output terminal for the switch side of pump relay, the pump should run. Be sure to use an inline fuse on the jumper. If the fuse still blows, you know the problem is on the pump circuit.

It's in the power distribution center, under the hood.

My fuel pump fuse keeps (20a) blowing? When I put a new fuse in and I first turn my key on, I can hear my fuel pump engage as I continue to crank to it over that's when it blows.

Try going to the tank and unplug the connector to the pump and then put a new fuse in and crank the engine as if you are trying to start it, even though it isn't going to start and then see if it blew the fuse. If it didn't, then replace the pump.

If the fuse blows as soon as you replace it with the car off then its the wiring. If the fuse blows when you turn the key on then I would suspect the pump. Try and wiggle the wiring harness for the fuel pump and see if the fuse blows. If it does then the wiring harness is shorted some where. To further check that its the pump see if you can disconnect the harness to the pump at the tank and then turn the key on. If the fuse holds then plug the harness back in and see if the fuse blows. If it does then the pumps bad. Hope this helps. Backyard mechanic :)

Electrical problem
1995 Dodge Neon 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic N/A miles

Hi my dad owns a 95 dodge neon sports car and is currently haveing a problem with it it wont start due to the fuel pump fuse blowing what else runs off or what else is connected to the the fuel pump fuse (20 amp)? We disconnected the fuel pump wireing harness and we checked the relays and its still blowing but what else could be connected to that fuse that might be causing this problem or even if it cant be causing the problem we still want to know what else is connected to that fuse so we can pinpoint the issue better thanks

Hi
Powers Automatic Shut Down relay and PCM. Pull ASD see if that is culprit. Take ohm meter place one lead to ground the other to non power side of fuse what does it read?
Let me know

The fuse feeds three circuits. Unplug the fuel pump relay and the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay. If the fuse still blows, the Engine Computer or wiring to it is shorted to ground.

Plug the fuel pump relay back in. If the fuse blows, the pump, or more likely, the wiring to it is shorted to ground.

Plug the ASD relay back in. If that causes the fuse to blow, look at the igition coil, injectors, alternator field, and oxygen sensor heaters.

The two relays will not turn on if you plug them in after the ignition switch is turned on. They only turn on for one second after the ignition switch is turned on, then again when the engine is rotating, (cranking or running).

If it was a short in wiring then fuse would still blow with PCM disconnected. So PCM must have internal short
