: Fuel Sol Fuse blows

Anyone have the problem of the fuse for the fuel solenoid blowing out, repeatedly? Is this more to do with the infamous PMD problem? My situation is this: I was driving to work and was a block from the house sitting at a stop sign when the truck just quit! I could not get it to restart for the life of me. When I got it home I discovered that the fuse had blown for the fuel solenoid so I relaced it with a new one, which proptly blew as well. I had the injector pump replaced last year but have never had the PMD or FSD replaced. Any ideas would be much welcomed.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Possibly a shorted wire?

Most likely a bad PMD, short in the harness could do it too, but I've seen a couple of trucks come in like that, replaced the driver and they worked fine. They can short internally, I've seen some that smoked on the test stand, and I know a guy who set one on fire on the bench too.
