Consumer Description

WIRING HARNESS INSIDE FUEL TANK GOT HOT ENOUGH TO MELT PART OF PLUG AND WELD PINS TOGETHER, EVEN AFTER THIS THE 20 AMP FUSE DID NOT BLOW.I HAVE DIGITAL PICTURES I WILL SEND YOU OF THE FAILED PART IF I GET AN E-MAIL ADDRESS. I BYPASSED THE PLUG AND THE PUMP FUNCTIONED FINE BUT BECAUSE OF THE BURNT PLUG I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW FUEL PUMP, I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS, CONTACTED THE FACTORY AND HAVE SHOWN IT TO THE DODGE MECHANICS I KNOW AND THEY SAY IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FAILING INSIDE THE GAS TANK DOES NOT SOUND VERY SAFE TO ME.
