Blue boy Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi I'm new to this forum, so I hope that someone may be able to help me!! Freelander 1.8 K series keeps blowing the fuel pump fuse. Have done the usual, disconnecting the loads in turn - fuel pump, inertia switch. still keeps blowing fuse when the ignition is turned on. Disconnected any plugs in the circuit cleaned and checked. Have had it running a couple of times but still blows fuse, after a few seconds (whilst running). Is there something within the circuit that I might be missing. Would really appreciate any help out there if someone has had the same trouble in the past!! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(my understanding from your description is that the fuse continues to blow even with the fuel pump disconnected): 1. The heated oxygen sensor appears to linked into the circuit and may be overloading it. 2. A chaffed cable which is touching earth at some point. Good luck.D..
