Why is my fuel pump not getting power?

Why is my fuel pump not getting power?

Fuel Pump works great when hot wired, but not getting power to the fuel pump from fuel pump relay without the hot wire. I’m stumped.

Why is the fuel pump in its own circuit?

In the case of the fuel pump, it would be the fuel pump that would leave the other circuits starving since it operates in a ‘near short’ condition. That is why the fuel pump is in its own separate fused circuit. No other circuits should tied to it or you’re asking for problems.

How do you check fuel pump terminal number?

1. Remove the fuel pump relay. 2. Check the relay socket for the ONLY terminal that faces differently from the other three. That is terminal #5 and feeds the load (fuel pump). You can double-verify the terminal number by checking it from underneath the relay. 3.

What to do if your lawn mower has no power?

Pull the relay out and run test leads from 85 & 86 to the battery + & – the relay should click and the connections between 30 & 87 / 87a should invert. If not the relay is duff.

Where is the fuel pump and relay wire?

If power is put to gray wire back at frame rail near pump it will run and engine will start. Had no ground to terminal 35 of relay. Replaced PCM and got ground. Still have no bat to terminal 35. Have jumper-ed term 30 to 76 (wire that is supposed to run to fuel pump and pump is not energized). Checked ignition 1 and ignition 2 fuses and are okay.

How can I get a new fuel pump to run?

Cannot get new fuel pump to run. Relay will not energize and gray wire has no bat on it. If power is put to gray wire back at frame rail near pump it will run and engine will start. Had no ground to terminal 35 of relay. Replaced PCM and got ground. Still have no bat to terminal 35.
