Some Chevrolet Silverado 1500 owners report experiencing intermittent issues with the fuel pump module fuse blowing, which can lead to no-start and stalling problems. These issues may arise from a short to ground in the red/white wire connecting the module to the fuse box. Additionally, if disconnecting the connectors on top of the fuel tank prevents the fuse from blowing, this could indicate a shorted fuel pump. Owners may also encounter problems due to wiring issues such as residual heat, loose connections, or faulty wiring. A faulty fuel pump relay can further exacerbate these issues, causing fuel pump malfunctions and resulting in stalling or no-start situations. It is vital for owners to check all electrical connections to ensure the fuel pump receives the necessary current for proper operation. Problems may also stem from the fuel pump driver module, especially if symptoms like stalling, rough running, or the engine light activation occur. Addressing these concerns promptly is essential for maintaining the vehicle's performance.
