Default Please Help: Very frustrated

Okay I bought my 350z not too long ago and it’s given me nothing but trouble. I barely had the car for about a week and the car dies out on me but it turns out it was an easy fix (it was just a the fuel pump fuse).

A week later, one of my HID bulbs burnt out.

Now 2 months later the fuel pump fuse blows out again but this time it blows out 5 minutes later after putting a new one in. I know it has do with something shorting out but just don’t know where or what. Please give me advice or some suggestions on what to do. This is my only car. Thank you

Stop replacing it until you fix the short. You've got a wire shorting out and it'll keep blowing till you fix this.

MY05 w/ 75k miles.

I know I have a short somewhere. The car is currently sitting in the garage. Any way I can trace the problem to the area?

I did install a system in the car. I thought it was the culprit so I took it completely out and it still doing it. What was your situation similiar to mine?
