My truck cranks up but won't stay cranked. I put in new fuel pump, now something is blowing the fuse. I can hear the pump work for about 1 minute, then fuse blows. What could be causing this new problem?

a shorted relay can cause this also a wire rubbed through from when fuel pump was installed. check for cracked wire insulation.

Hey there..my name is Keith..and the norm is..if something blows a fuse..its a powered item...such as a wire..or an electrical componant that has brushes..or a relay that is a direct short to ground..so if you ran your truck out of gas..and the fuel pump was starving..and drew amps..it could have burnt up your fuel pump relay..and its shorted internally..so not being there to check it out..that would be my guess..if not..i would suspect a chaffed wire to the fuel pump..but they are usually covered in a wire chase/conduit..i hope this helps..if not..write back...Keith
