Ford runs the fuse to the coil side of the relay, then to the inertia switch, then to the module. The module supplies power and ground to the pump. When you unplugged the module, you eliminated the short to ground. Replace the module. It wouldn't be the wiring from the fuse because if it were, it would still blow the fuse, if the hot wire was grounding out.

Unplugging the fuel control relay or module will ensure no current is entering the wire heading towards the fuel pump. The likelihood is there is a short circuit somewhere along that part of the circuit though it is possible the relay could be faulty.

Ideally, with the aid of a circuit diagram, the wire should be traced from the source at the fuel pump module along its length until the fault is discovered. There is intelligent equipment available that can locate short circuits.

My ford explorer fuul pump reset button went off and burnt fuel pump up now it blows the 30 amp fuse under hood and still wont start

The Inertia Fuel Shutoff switch would never cause a fuel pump to burn up. If the pump went out, it went out on its own. If it's blowing the fuse, you'll have to examine the wiring harness and ground and possibly replace the pump

2001 ford explorer sport keeps blow fuel pump fuses

The most common cause of this is that the fuel pump is drawing to much current due to wear and a possible burned fuel tank connector at the tank. To replace the pump you must raise the truck up and remove the fuel tank. Also replace the fuel filter which is on the inside of the frame on the drivers side. Use a rag to cover the fuel line when disconnecting it with the required special tool.

I'm no expert but when you turn key to run position, this turns the fuel pump on if the pump is faulty i would think it would blow the fuse also. Or its your theory a short in the ignition system wiring.

Blowing fuses

THIS IS PROBABLY TOO LATE BUT HERE GOES.

THERE IS A CONNECTOR UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN FOR THE LIGHT SWITCH. THE WIRES GET HOT AND DAMAGE THE CONNECTION. THE BEST THING TO DO IS **** CONNECT THEM TOGETHER.

disconnect wiring to pump. install new fuse for the pump and turn over ignition. the car wont start because the fuel pump wiring is diconnected. check the fuse to the fuel pump, if the fuse did not blow when the pump is disconnected it is a faulty fuel pump. I read this somewhere and a garage is up to 850 dollars in parts and labor only to offer me more parts and labor not relevent to my problem. I am towing it home and running this test my self.

92 ford explorer (crank but no start and no noise from fuel pump)

Probably, also, if it's an electric, check to make sure the pump is actually getting power. The wires may have gone bad.
