SOURCE: Blowing ECM-B fuses

The ECM-B fuse is a 20 amp fuse, and you should NEVER put a larger fuse in to try to overcome any problem. The oil pressure switch is a secondary concern; there is an idiot light or oil pressure guage in the dash to alert you to oil pressure problems. Under heavy load, such as towing, your engine requires more fuel, and if your fuel pump is going/has gone bad, it cannot supply the demand.
The problem is almost certainly a fuel pump wire harness short, caused by a dying fuel pump. I have both had this problem myself, and repaired it on three other vehicles. On my vehicle, the wire harness had welded itself together when the fuel pump locked up, and the wire harness caught on fire.
The fuel pump is in the gas tank (of course my tank was full), and the tank has to be dropped to access it. The wire harness is modular, with plugs at both ends, and can be bought from the Chevrolet or GMC dealer.
If you put an incorrectly-rated fuse anywhere in your vehicle's electrical system, the WORST place to do it is where you have--the fuel pump circuit. Fuses blow for a reason, and the manufacturer's engineers properly size the fuses for the application at hand. Please don't do that again.
This can be a very dangerous problem and repair, and no, it is not cheap.
Do not attempt to operate this vehicle until you have had the problem properly corrected. Good luck.

SOURCE: Chevy 1998 Express 1500 8 cyl Keeps blowing ecm-b fuses

i have a 1998 3500, with the 5.7v-8, and fought electrical problems for eight months now. i believe it is a problem within the chevy van, because a lot of people complain about blown fuses. my fuse was the ecm-b fuse as well, and after cleaning all the grounds and bat. connections, starter connections, and disabling the a/c circuit, on the advice of another poor van owner i replaced the ignition coil. six months so far, and no problems. this might help you as well. mine did not have any visable problems, but he was persistant, so i did it. good luck

ECM-1 keeps blowing 1990 chevy astro

Without any schematic diagram it sounds like the ECM has a short in it or something the ECM is connected to. Without a schematic for your particular car it is difficult to tell you the EXACT proble. Blown fuses means you are overloading the fused circuit. Just make sure the fuse is the correct size. Thats the best i can do with the Information i have
Good luck

ECM I fuse keeps blowing in my 1996 1 ton gmc sierra 4x4 with a 454 v8 engine whats causing it

For the ECM 1 fuse to open you obviously have a short to ground , start with the injector disconnected and see if ECM 1 fuse still blows.If it does disconnect crank sensor, also inspect wires for the injectors or any rub through wires here is a diagram cansmo_178.gif

95 chevy blazer keep blowing the ecm fuse

If it "keeps" blowing the ECM fuse, it is because you "KEEP" replacing the fuse without diagnosing and repairing the reason the fuse is blown.

Have a 2000 chevy 3500 and the #9 fuse blows random. i tried to make it blow and if the truck sits there it will blow on its own.

most likely the reason it keeps blowing that fuse is because some sort of short in line with that fuse im not sure what the #9 fuse is for but i suggest checking your wiring for that fuse if you look on the fuse panel door it should give you some hint search for melted loose broken wires.. goodluck
