Afternoon
1995 940 NA. Driving home doing 75 or so MPH and engine dies. Diagnostics lead me to the in tank pump which I remove and find the negative lead attached to the pump loosely and the connector is melted burned and the male part on the pump has a small scorch mark. Pump reads 0 ohms so I am pretty sure it has a "dead short". This was a brand new OEM Volvo pump I replaced almost exactly 1 year and 10,000 miles ago. So a couple questions, A)Did I nearly blow my ass up(melting/burning in tank)?? B)Why did my 15amp fuse not blow in panel? C)Should I put some sort of a fusible link or such in line prior, and would that help?
Thoughts?
