I have a problem with my fuel pump fuse keeps blowing out i had the fuel pump replaced and had the car at the garage a couple of times they can,t find the problem. there seems to be a short someplace but cant find where it is.the problem started the day i had replaced the heater core. I also had put in a new head gasket a couple weeks before the problem started.

Try looking behind the fuse box. It hinges down and swings toward you.( from the bottom ) If its not secure, the wiring behind it may work loose. the fuse for the fuel pump I think is top center of the box. Right where the hinge is.

May solve your problem, my wipers did the exact same thing, and thats all it was.
