Vehicle shuts down during operation. I just saw there is a recall on your site saying same problem but mine didnt qualify. I have burned wires in harness to instrument panel. I found two wires at harness where code reader plugs into . O was able to ground them but now a couple months later same problem. I found burnt wires in harness and I cannot access to evaluate or replace. I've completed repairs myself, I am poor and dont know any honest affordable mechanics as I am capable of most reasonable repairs. I think my van falls under overheating panel warranty as described by this website. I still have 2 years of payments on van

EMC FUSES BLOWN / FUEL PUMP FAILURE...CURRENTY 3 OF OUR 15 CHEVROLETRENTAL VANS HAVE EXPERIENCED BLOWN EMC FUSES, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING & REPLACING THE RECOMMENDED FUSE, WE CONTINUED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. EACH TIME WE TURNED ON THE IGNITION ANOTHER BLOWN FUSE! WE THEN REMOVED THE GAS TANK & INSPECTED THE FUEL PUMP. WHAT WAS FOUND THE FIRST TIME, WAS ACCEPTABLE. BUT FINDING THE SAME PROBLEM ON ANOTHER 2 VANS HAS GOT US WORRIED. THE "BLACK" AND "GRAY" WIRE FUSED THEMSELVES TOGETHER WHILE INSIDE THE GAS TANK! COULD THIS BE A FIRE/EXPLOSION POTENTIAL? WHAT IF A HIGHER AMP FUSE WAS USED IN COMBINATION WITH A THE FUEL TANK THAT WAS LESS THAN FULL..*AK
