On the back side of the fuel filter canister is a two wire plug that goes to the fuel heater and the water in fuel sensor. Unplug that plug, most likely the fuel heater is shorting out. I see you live in Colorado so you may want to spring for replacing the fuel heater for the winter time. But the warmer weather is just around the corner and that gives you time to shop around for the best price.
