2013 Hyundai Accent – Fuse blows, car shuts off when honking, fuel pump replaced

Hi all,

I have a 2013 Hyundai Accent with an electrical issue.

Originally had a no-start, mechanic replaced the fuel pump. After that:

•	Car starts and runs for \~2 minutes

•	Then shuts off and fuel pump fuse (10A) blows

•	Replacing fuse repeats the same cycle

New symptoms:

•	If I honk the horn, the car immediately shuts off

•	OBD scanner is not working

•	Traction control light is ON

This makes me think it’s not just the fuel pump but possibly a wiring short or bad ground affecting multiple systems.

Questions:

1.	Does this point to a shared ground or short in wiring harness?

2.	Could a pinched wire during fuel pump install cause this?

3.	Where should I start — grounds, relay, or full harness inspection?
