I a 1995 dodge ram 1500, I just replaced the fuel pump, and battery cable to the starter. Now here's my question every time I turn the key to the on position tying to start it it blows the 10amp mini fuse in the cab and I'm wondering why?

Code 12 doesn't correlate, but Code 1282 may provide some insight. Code 1282 is "The fuel pump relay circuit seems to be having a problem", which would explain the disconnect/reconnect trick that sporadically works. Have the relay circuit looked at.

Was the old fuel pump bad? It might be worth the cost to replace the ignition switch. The wires to the fuel pump would be a second guess if the old pump was bad and burnt the wires before the fuse went. When you eliminated the fuel pump you also eliminated the wires to the pump and it started. Then you replaced the pump, but not the wires. The ignition switch is the other end of the circuit.

check to make sure the fuel pump relay is not stuck in the on position.

Have you had the fuel pump checked. How long since fuel filter was changed.

SOURCE: Is here a replaceable fuel filter in the fuel

There is a strainer on the fuel pump that doesn`t normally need changed until fuel pump repacement.There is a filter on the inside of frame rail about where the driver door is.
