Hi:
Make sure no wires were pinched while you were working on it. If nothing is found, you need to start at the pump and work forward to locate pinched or damaged wiring that would cause a short. However, that fact that it doesn't blow right away makes me think it may be the pump going bad. Was this a problem prior to the repairs?
