Re: Fuel relay keeps blowing

Check the wiring at the bottom of the connector. If it's like mine was, the wires are shorting together and causing headaches. Go to a place that sells alarm or security systems for cars and see if you can't pick up a relay and connector. That's what I currently have mine running on (well, when the harness is installed, anyways) along with the fan relay (dual relay block, using both relays in the block).

It's either that or the fuel pump is drawing too much current through the relay. Have the current draw checked if you can't do it yourself.
