First let me start by saying, if there is one thing I hate it's wiring.
Last night my car shut off for no reason. After a minute of diagnosing I found out the pump wasn't turning on.
This morning I tried to turn the pump on with the connector in the engine bay. When I hooked up the wire to the battery the wire started smoking almost immediately. The pump didn't turn on either.
Then I tested for power at the fuel pump connector in the hatch. Three of the wires make my test light light up. The only one that doesn't is the all black one.
Then I plugged the connector back in and commanded the fuel pump on via dsmlink. This should turn the pump whenever the ignition is on, it didn't. I was about to test the wiring at the pump housing by using the screws on it for a connection. Then I noticed the connector started smoking so I unplugged it and turned the pump settings back to stock in dsmlink.
So, something is keeping the pump from turning on. And whatever it is it's causing the wires at the connector in the hatch to start smoking when the pump is supposed to be turning on.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
