I cant figure out how to get my fuel pump to run. It dies out on me after getting gas 2 days ago. Ive changed the fuel pump 3 times changed the relays. The fuel gauge didn’t work before this. And it always read empty, now it reads full. Could it maybe be part of the same issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

First confirm getting battery<\/a> positive and negative to the fuel pump to rule out the relay, fuse and wiring to the fuel pump. At this point you are left with checking the connections at the fuel pump. And the ground connections. After that the only thing that is left would be the fuel pump itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*note – Cycle ignition key ON and OFF (pausing for a few seconds after ON) at least 10 times to prime the fuel system after replacing the fuel pump or fuel filter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
