My 1.4 dualogic keeps blowing fuses on gearbox hydraulic pump. Any ideas as to what it maybe? Onn mjltiscan it gives a code of p1744.

Dualogic gearbox? Try this thread - https://www.fiatforum.com/panda/39869-dual-logic-gearbox-fail.html?p=490049 gives a bit of info but no real answers.

I'd say it's probably an electrical issue though, dodgy earth somewhere.

so are we talking brake pedal switch like on stilo abarth causing the problem

Your pump is on its way, check brushes before it burns out as the new pump is expensive.

Could it be also the pressure switch ?

- pump activates when you open door and fill the buffer
- pump stop when the pressure is reached

If the pressure sensor doesn't work correctly, the pump may keep on running, finally getting the fuse to blow, as it is supposed to do to protect the pump...
Fuses are there for a good reason, blown fuse usually indicate a (potential) failure, needs to be investigated. And obviously, one have to respect the fuse rating !!
