Re: Help! Blowing fuel pump fuses like crzy! 200 1985

Thanks for the posts.

I will NOT attempt to "jump" the #6 fuse.

I DID have the car running correctly, if I remember, at one point nearing the end of my repairs. I was trying to remember what I did AFTER I did a "test run". I think that's when I replaced the 6 gau. wire from the alternator to the starter with a new 8 gau. wire. I remember leaving the old red wire in the harness.. I assume that wire didn't branch off anywhere else. I also did a lot of "fiddling" with the grey firewall plug (8)... I will try to hook up the old wire back, and then try it before doing the test with the 4 and 6 fuse. I really appreciate you taking thge time to look over your wiring diagrams for me. I am not much good reading those things (but am trying to learn). If all else fails, I will take it to a local Volvo garage that I trust tomorrow. I already called the owner today and he said that they would need to run tests to find the short, also. I was a bit embarrassed because I was trying to do a good job by myself. Well, at least I have oil press. and I fixed the original short (causing an intermittent battery drain).........I'ts just such a greasy, cramped mess under the intake manifold....lots of electrical tape from the previous owner....

Thanks,

Ted (Bundy) Y.
