Fuel Pump Fuse Keeps Blowing

Hiya, I have an electrical fault on my 08 Tenere. It's was intermittent but is now constant. Every time I power up the ignition it blows a fuel pump fuse. I've disconnected the pump and put a multimeter across the fuse contacts to see what's going on. On power up I'm getting a 12v reading but the Amps are massive. I can't read high Ampage with my meter but there's a bright light as the fuse blows so it's obvs far to big for the circuit. I've pulled out the loom as much as I can and I can't see any obvious shorts or broken connections. I'm at a loss as to where to try next. Can anyone help? I look forward to hearing from you if you can.

Cheers Jay.

When you disconnect the actual fuel pump at the last connection before the fuel pump assembly and power up does the fuse still blow ?

If it doesn't blow, the problem is in the fuel pump assembly.

If it still blows the fuse, the problem is in the wiring loom to the the fuel pump assembly but the hard part is going to be finding it.

Check all visible wiring for any chaffing or crush damage that is allowing the bar copper wire to touch the frame of the bike which is causing the short circuit.
Check all this first and see what you find.
