if your fuses have spade connectors on em goto an auto elecys and buy a self resetting circut breaker 5 amps less than the fuse you are checking and a 1 watt bulb in a holder with wires

attach wire of the appropriate size to a pair of blade connectors and the CB so that instead of the fuse you put the CB in place.

wire the 1 watt bulb over the terminals of the CB..

when the CB is closed (fuse not blown) the light will be off

when the CB opens (fuse blown) the light will turn on.

if you want a wiring diagram drop me a PM.

I checked his relays and bus fuse (caked with mud from a broken seal), hopefully new relays and fuses will solve the problem, the ECU isn't too dirty but mud has got in.
I don't think it's the pump more an electrical problem caused by the water ingression

not quite what I was getting at..

that dohickey I was describing is for fault finding a constantly blowing fuses problem.

you plug it in where the fuse would go.. and the light will turn on when the fuse would blow. the circut breaker will cycle on and off as you do your fault finding. when the light stays off youve found the Problem.

alteratively disconnect everything, plug it in in place of the fuse and begin to install components till the light comes on and theres the faulty bit.

good on ya dobbo,

that's a cute idea dave, i should make one.....

the problem here is electrical, just a matter of finding where the short is
and i'll be fascinated to know....

Just another thought, If you think it is a short to ground and you have a multimeter handy set it to test for continuity or resistance and disconnect the battery, put a probe on the power wire in question and the other to the vehicle chassis. If the meter shows a very low resistance reading or the continuity alarm goes off then you know you have a short to ground and all you have to do then is start moving back down the system until you no longer get a reading or the alarm doesn't go off.
