Sounds like a short in the wires running to the fuel pump most likely, or that the pump is pulling too much current. You could check by disconnecting the connector at the ful pump, often can be done through an access hatch under the rear seat. If the fuse still bolws, then the problem is in the wiring.

 

I'm all about that, but I can't for the life of me figure out how a 2nd generation seat bottom comes out. It looks like there's a hinge at the front of the seat, but the back of it looks very well secured and I can't find a latch or anything.

Anyone know how the friggin seats pop out?

 

If it is like the 1st gens, there is a sort of latch down behind the back of the cushion. As I recall, it has a loop on it that you pull up on the release the latch and lift the cushion with.

 

yes that little loop always falls down in 'THE VOID' and can be a pita to get... but its there
