What was the fuse number? You could disconnect the pump, test the wiring with a DVOM or, if you don't have a meter, you could replace the fuse and see if it blows. If it doesn't then move the wiring around to see if it is a hole in the insulation. If it still doesn't blow, then reconnect the pump. If it blows right away again then I would suspect your pump has grounded itself internally, time for a new pump.
I know you can get them at plenty of places, and Amazon has a good price on the Bosch unit if you do end up needing one.
