Guest Dat Woman U luv2hate Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I just replaced my fuel pump, and now my ecmb fuse is blowing as soon as contact is made. Obviously there is a short somewhere, but we dont know what this fuse is for, just that my 89 chevy suburban will NOT start without it. Please help me...

This should have been posted in the tech help section... I'll copy it over there so check for replies there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 did they smash the harness when they put the tank back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotrodmama024 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 She said no... It was driving beautifully to work, and at lunch. Died on the way home for know reason, and it keeps blowing fuses everytime one is put in. Even tried higher watt fuses. BTW..... ECMB is what the fuse is saying... Maybe Electrical Computer Module Bypass? Thats all i could come up with, that sounds even close. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 ECM "B" Engine Control Module, B. One of two things usually. 1) The new pump is defective and is drawing too much amperage, blowing the fuse. 2) The wiring harness was damaged during the install process and is drawing amperage, blowing the fuse.

Dave1647545494 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 if you had no issues electrically untill after a new pump was installed replace the pump make sure you get a delco pump everything else is junk and your truck will just eat them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotrodmama024 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I dont think the pump has anything to do with it. I think its the idiot that put it in, maybe wired it wrong. Why would any fuse you put in blow as soon as its stuck in? Bad pump didnt do that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hotrodmama024 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do you think i would allow her to buy cheap bullshit parts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do you think i would allow her to buy cheap bullshit parts??? If it's not OEM from a GM dealer, then it's cheap and junk, especially for a fuel pump. And don't try to put a higher amperage fuse in. That's the stupidest thing you can ever try to do. You might have melted the harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do you think i would allow her to buy cheap bullshit parts??? did the box say AC Delco on it or delphi? if not then yes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes i swear you guys are just soo egotistical. First of all its not my truck. I also trust my judgement on pin pointing problems in my car, or even others. Just because i am not a mechanic, i might not beable to take an engine apart and put it back together, doesnt mean i am stupid. Its a old truck. The wiring is completly fucked up on this car. Now you can keep trying to say i am probably wrong... or maybe you can say hey maybe she is right and point me in the right direction to help Becki.
