Question:

99' GMC S 15 blows ECM B fuse?

2.8 manual trans blows ecm b fuse in the under dash fuse box. Changed relays(2), fuel pump and ecm. It might be the fuel pump primer but I don't know where it is located.When I bypass the relay the fuel pump runs but when I try to start the engine while it's bypassed the bypass wire from the positive battery post gets red hot. The engine used to start while wired in this fashion when the fuse would fail. Now the fuse fails all the time.

Answer:

You have a direct short in the ECM B circuit. When you bypass the fuse you destroy the harness, fuses are to protect the harness and the components they are connected to. They protect the ECM. The B circuit usually is the power circuit for the fuel pump, through the relay. Check the harness for continuity from the relay connector to ground from the fuel pump power supply wire I think it's tan/wht. If there is you have a short and you will need to pinpoint where. but you have probably already melted the harness together. Good luck. It might have been cheaper to hire a professional mechanic shop.
