As Derek stated, we had a scan tool available, but since there was no CEL/MIL, no codes returned. We did learn that the ODB-II reader would NOT work if the EFI fuse was not in place -- good to know.

No, not the pump, but based on what I've read in this thread and after speaking with CDan, I'll replace it anyhow. PM is better than dead on the road any day of the week.Romer said:So they don't think it's the pump? That is good news. If it's just the wire, you plan on replacing the pump anyways?
Good luck on your drive. I will be doing something similar on Friday. Driving to Rapid City to pick up my new Camper and back to Denver in one day.
If I read my diagram correctly, it's in the fuel tank. What I can't tell is what it's rubbing against...maybe the float arm?alvarorb said:Doug,
This is a great one for the archives. Very impressive to see that wire burnt like that. Is this thing anywhere near fuel?

We went as high as 20A, but no more. Always remember those famous last words, "hold my beer while I try this 60A fuse...we'll jumper it with that piece of wire if this don't work..."Beowulf said:Is anyone else wondering what might have happened had that wire sparked before blowing the 15 amp fuse.... or if an enterprising DIY guy had stuck a 60 amp fuse in "just to test it out".

Good luck
well, if they sent you the pic, at least they're trying to be serious, that would be a good sign.
very odd to see that localized "burn" and just next to that metal tube, too... yikes!
