That`s a pretty complex situation with all the things that have been worked on. With the fuse blowing in there I am thinking maybe something happened to a wire and it's grounded out somewhere and blows the fuse once whatever is shorted tries to send a signal. But that's just a wild guess.

I agree with the above statement of a wire grounded out somewhere. Make sure you didnt nic a wire while you were doing the fuel pump or something is not cross wired.
