Vehicle started having issues starting and then it would start and run fine and then die. I was contacted and noticed that the fuel pump was not coming on and then would all the sudden come on andthen quit so I removed the rear seat and unplugged the wire harness and could see where it had been burned and looked at the top of the pump where the harness plugs in and could see and smell gas. I removed the fuel pump and you could see where one of the wire harnesses inside the fuel tank on the fuel pump had burned a hole all the way through. In the whole process of this no fuse ever blew to shut power off and was told there is no fuse by someone at the Dodge dealer. I proceeded to look on the internet and found numerous accounts of this same issue and nobody has reported it the changed there fuel pump but that does not fix the issue. If there is no fuse to blow somebody is going to get hurt and if there is a fuse why are they not blowing.
