My '94 Bonneville has blown the fuse to the air pump for the air shocks several dozen times over the last 8 years. Two dealers, a different pump, and and $800 later it still blows fuses. The only component on the fuse is the pump and the Chevy dealer contends I need to try a third pump. I'm not convinced. I wondered if trying a slow blow fuse (if they exist) might help. The fuses I have been using are ATO 20A - small with square ended terminals. Anyone know if they make slowblow fuses like that and where to get them??? I'm definitely about out of options. At first we thought there might be a short somewhere, but never found any. The mechanic even removed the dashboard to rewire and refuse the components (I think he said 3) that were on the original circuit. Now, the pump is on a circuit by itself. I have watched the pump run and it sounds good. Seems to run about 10 seconds when it does run and then shuts off without blowing the fuse. I can't tell exactly when the fuse blows, but of course the ride soon suffers. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I have an appointment with ANOTHER mechanic in about 10 days, but hope maybe to try a different type of fuse first. Love the car otherwise, but this problem has been a big pain. There MUST be an answer!!!
