Default It won't start. It blows a fuse all the time

Hello,

I have a very unusual problem. I have attached a picture to show a fuse that keeps going off. The car cranks when starting but that's it. I changed the CPS already and nothing seems to happen. I was wondering if somebody knows what the problem might be. I also had a spare key that I got made by a locksmith and try using it for a couple of times. The car started but would shut off right away. I used the original key again and worked like a charm for one day. Next day I get up to go to work and the Crossfire didn't start anymore. Before that the car wanted to shut down couple of times at light stops. I took it to Autozone and the codes were relay failure or Air pump. 801 code I believe. I would love to start the car and drive it to take it to the mechanic to fix the 801 code.

Maybe check all your relays, can be easily done with a multi volt meter

I think it's the fuel pump relay.

I think I am going to do the RCM soldering because it seems that its beat up. Do you think that might be the problem?

That is what I am trying to figure out. Some people say that it might also be the anti-theft system. How would I find out if that is the case or not? I fixed the RCM soldering but I do not want to fix a relay if that is not a problem.

When you turn the ignition on to the position before the engine turns over can you hear the fuel pump?
The fuse is for the fuel pump I think.

Well I believe it does, the car powers on for 1 or 2 seconds when I put a new fuse then it shuts down and blows the fuse. After that it just cranks.
