My fuel pump fuse would randomly blow, then it got worse and worse blowing almost every week, I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, the other day when the fuse blew, I could not got a new one in without it blowing, Is there a tendency for the wires to short out on the frame somewhere? Is there something that I should be looking at other than tracing the wires and seeing if the insulation is worn away?

The dark green and yellow wire could be shorted to ground this is the power feed for the fuel pump thru the inertia switch.

Find the inertia switch behind right kick panel and test from there-for a short circuit-be advised this problem can be a bear to fix BTDT. No electrical experience bring it in.

I need to know where did you find the problem-you cannot connect it to the pressure regulator there's no wiring connection there-
