Fuse # 19 keeps frying
I have a 2001 F 250 7.3 diesel. It is running really bad. It keeps frying fuse #19 which is for the fuel pump motor/PCM. Is there a way to separate these to check where the problem is? It goes bad in less than a minute. Is there a plug in the fuel pump I could disconnect then put in a new fuse to see if it goes and narrow it down to the PCM? Does the PCM kill fuses when it goes bad?
It is a 20 amp under the hood.
Thanks for any help.

OK I found the pump. It was towards the front. I started looking at pulling the wires off and saw a plug about a foot away that the wires ran into. In looking at the plug I noticed about 2 inches up was a bare spot on the red wire and it was laying on the brake line. There are only 2 wires. One black and the red with a stripe. Would that be enough to do it? Can I just tape it up or does it need something special?
