HELP!! Elec H2o pump blowing fuses

I have a CSI electric water pump that has worked great until yesterday. car overheated so I checked the inline fuse and it was blown. Replaced it and by the time I got home (1-2 miles) the guage was beginning to climb and when I checked the pump it was not running. blown fuse. I put a new relay on and a new fuse and when I start it up it blows the fuse again. Any suggestions?!?!?!?!?!?!

Sounds like it may be time to pull the pump and see if the blades spin freely by hand. Sound like you have a bad bearing and it is putting so much load it blows the fuses. That is why i like the mechanical pump. It may leak from time to time but at least it dont stop!

Re: HELP!! Elec H2o pump blowing fuses

Found problem!!! I had just replaced the console in my '94 with one from a '98 and I had two switches and a light I had to mount on it someplace. One switch for the manual fan control, one for the left and right bank for the fuel/air ratio guage and the inidcator light for the water pump. since the two wires were the same I got them crossed when I wired them back up and it kept shorting out the fuse. rewired and all is fine.
