94 Maxima blowing fuel pump fuses

Nov 05, 2004 4 Replies

My wife's 94 has been blowing fuel pump fuses almost 2 per week the last month or so. It started doing it about a year or so ago in the summer and I put in a new fuel filter. Seemed to stop for a long time but now the problem's back worse than ever. I'm thinking that the fuel pump might have a glitch in it causing an intermittant overload. It went dead on her today while driving, usually it does it when idling and then attempting to accelerate. Could be a dangerous problem. Anyone have any thoughts on this one??

90 & 94 GXE's.

I can't imagine a fuel filter causing fuses to blow with no other symptoms. You need to research what else is on the curcuit that this fuse controls to even begin to figure out what they problem is. I guess you could "shotgun" the problem and just start replacing parts...

yes, I think I might go ahead and replace the pump w/ the Nissan part. Courtesy quoted $247 for the pump w/ a 12month warr. I'll check the wiring when I get into it and see if there's anything else on the circuit. Thanks.
