Re: [DML] fuel pump

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The wiring for the fuel pump circuit is under rated therefore only solid connections and a heavy duty fuse holder will perform satisfactorily. More than 50% of these attempted fixes fail again. Any qualified automotive tech with through electrical knowledge will know exactly what to do.

It is interesting to note that the person who performed the previous fuse fix in your car installed the over rated 30 amp fuse. This is the reason why the wires adjacent to the fuse are also burnt.

Ok, I found that I do have an inline fuse holder containing a green "30"
fuse. It's the only inline fuse holder, and #7 is the only one missing
from the block, so I'm assuming that this is it. I found it melted this
morning. The fuse holder itself is melted, as well as a spot a couple
inches down the wire where 2 wires have been connected and covered with
rubber. The fuse holder usually rests on the lower portion of my
lockzilla, and now zilla paint is smeared - only in the area of the fuse.

So it seems that I had a meltdown. What would have caused this, and what's
my next step? Would any auto electronics place be able to take care of
this, or should I have the car shipped back down to DMC Garden Grove (it
was there just a couple months ago)?

PS. Thanks for all the help thus far!

Melt down of the number 7 fuse is extremely common and is corrected with the installation of an in-line fuse. You will need to find that added fuse holder which should be located in the area of the fuse block.
