Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The smog pump blows the fuse, the cooling fans and check engine light comes on. the dealership charged nearly $500.00 to replace the pump, wiring, and fuse. they fixed the problem using bigger rated wire and fuse, which usually means original parts were not addequate. i am going to contact gm's corporate offices about this problem. if the t.s.b. calls for fixing the problem with bigger rated wire and fuse, then gm knows it is possibly a design defect. i think this should be under a recall or an emissions warranty of some kind. *ak
