Fuel pump fuses keep blowing. Have been towed 5 times, car just dies out. I am at my max in tows through aaa. We had the fuel pump replaced and the fuel relay switch replaced. Car ran for a couple of days and blew fuse after fuse. About 12 fuses have blown. In my research I have seen numerous problems with the ford fuel pumps. Car is still in the shop and won't start.
