Dead fuel pump


Recommended Posts

Lost voltage measured where? If you’re measuring just at the pump connector it wood be useful to know if it was on the power or ground side.

 

The fuel pump only cycles for a few seconds after key on without the engine running. A better way to confirm power transmission would be jumping pins 30 and 87 at the fuel pump relay. Then you’d know if there’s a wiring concern or the truck isn’t asking the pump to turn on. You might as well check from proper power at the relay as well.

^^^ xlnt advice ,

 

one could also access the starter relay and test fuel pump by unplugging connector for fuel pump and applying 12v to that wire,

this bypasses the relay and the ballast resistor,  pump would run continuously

 

on my 89,  the terminal was beside of the large stud at the top of the relay

shown on the top left in the image below.

this terminal has power applied during the start cycle and drops out after you release the key,
