Sounds like something is shorting out if you keep blowing fuses. Pull the back seat and check the wiring going into the pump.

if thats not the problem, maybe its the ground for your main relay, do you have a multimeter?

multimeters are pretty cheap, i think they are like four bucks and up.

sounds like the greasy plug for the fuel pump is gone dry and water is shorting it out, i had that happen out of the blue on one of my customers car
