[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 381038, member: 315"] The fact that the 10 doesn’t blow means you have no short and that the pump is simply drawing too much amperage. Which can be caused by several things and mentioned above. Running it like that may cause the wire to get hot enough to melt the jacketing. If it’s pulling 6 amps you’d be fine. If it’s pulling 9 amps it may melt. That being said there is also a chance the wire is rated for 10 amps and they just threw a 5 amp fuse in there. You could turn it on for awhile and feel the wire and see how hot it gets [/QUOTE]
