Hi everyone,

Ive got this issue with my fuel pump fuse.

to keep it short and direct - we installed a new battery - initially did it the wrong way( wrong terminals) removed it in seconds!

connected the battery properly (proper terminals) - then everytime we start the engine - it cranks but does not start.

observed the fuel pump fuses beside the battery and realise its blown - replaced it and it blows again.

in short everytime we replace the fuse and turn the ignition before even starting the engine the fuse would blow.

Do assist please, its really frustrating how a simple task can cause such crazyness.. :huh:

cheeers folk...

in advance merry xmas! :D

you may have cooked a wire somewhere in the wiring and it's shorting out when you replace the fuse and give it power again. i would try unplugging the fuel pump and then replacing the fuse and trying it then just to see what happens.

Um so you didn't touch/change the fuel pump anytime recently? Wrong terminals as in the positive was put on the negative terminal of the battery and vice versa?

nope did not...

yes wwrong terminals as in what you mentioned..

everything else seems fine in the car, no other wire issues or accessory problem.

only thing that goes wrong is the fuel pump fuse keeps blowing when ignition is on.

It wont be the ECU as it only earths the relay trigger. You will need to find the short by a process of elimination. Power is feed to the fuse and then to the relay. Try unplugging the relay and connect a new fuse. If it blows again it implies there is a short in the wire connecting the fuse and relay. If it doesn't blow, you will then need to check the wiring from the relay to the fuel pump.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
