WolverineCub Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hello, I'm new here from Montreal, Canada While heading out on Vacation, my Comanche's alternator pulley came loose and the serpentine belt came off. (the pulley was put on a RB alternator by a impact gun) I was dead on the road but remembered a Canadian Tire was a short distance away so I removed the belt and drove to it. I removed the alternator and had it tightened. (same way) I reinstalled the belt and tightened up the power steering adj. for the belt. Then, the Comanche would not Start. I got towed back home. Besides not starting, the fuel guage was pointing to the Floor which looked like the Crank position Sensor but that was OK. I got Spark but no Fuel. There is no voltage to the pump. Fuses check Ok, the fuse box is Ok, no corrosion. Thanks For any Info Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Check the ground cable from the battery to the chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineCub Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Good ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I ask because power only goes to the pump for a brief moment after turning the key to "run", and then is on with the key turned to "start". any other time there will not be power to the pump.

WolverineCub Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Only 3 Volts at Courtesy Lamps (Glowing), guess the same elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineCub Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Chassis Ground was the Problem. Don't see an open GND wire, put one. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
