What can fail
Road salt corrodes the fuel pump wiring assembly, creating an electrical bridge between the fuel pump circuit and fuel gauge sender. This causes the sender ground circuit to overheat and melt the wire insulation, producing smoke and odor, and may cut off fuel to the engine.
What the fix does
A fused jumper harness will be installed in the fuel pump and sender electrical circuit.
