Hot fuel pump fuse
I have not found a definitive answer for this on multiple searches so I figured I'd ask the pros:
The 16 amp fuel pump fuse on my 930 gets extremely hot and fries about once a month. Last time it burnt the lower fuse tab almost black and cooked about 1" of the output wire. I bypassed the tabs by attaching an external blade style fuse holder to the upper and lower screws. Runs fine again but it's still getting pretty hot. What's causing this?
Additional info: Both fuel pumps are new, connections are corrosion free and protected and the red relays are new. All the chassis ground connections are clean and the alternator output is within spec. Can anyone tell me where the power splits to feed the front and rear pumps? I can't think of anything else to check. My next approach would be to run new wires from each pump all the way to the fuse panel, with a separate fuse for each pump.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
