How do you replace the harness on a fuel pump?
How do you replace the harness on a fuel pump?
Start by disconnecting the battery first, and then disconnecting the wire harness from the fuel pump. Luckily for demonstration purposes, we have a harness that came off the vehicle.
Do you need to remove wire from fuel pump?
You’ll need to remove about a foot of the wire harness and the conduit from the old wire harness before you start cutting. Make sure you’re dealing with the one four wire connector for the fuel pump module, and not the fuel pump’s fuel pressure sensor connector.
What are the connectors for a fuel pump?
The connectors are two different sizes, for the larger wires for the ground and the supply for the fuel pump, and the smaller ones for the fuel stemming unit. Make sure you crimp them firmly, and make sure you don’t get any of the insulation trapped in between the electrical connective crimp.
Can You Heat shrink a fuel pump connector?
To heat shrink these connectors, you want to make sure you use a heat gun, not any open flame source. Also, be sure to keep it away from any fuel spills that may have occurred. Make sure you got that fire extinguisher on hand.

How is a fuel pump connected to the electrical system?
These pumps are connected to the electrical system by the fuel pump wiring harness. Over time, the wiring harness connectors may corrode or break, weakening the electrical connection.
Why does my fuel pump wiring harness stop working?
Over time, the wiring harness connectors may corrode or break, weakening the electrical connection. If your fuel pump stops working, or only works intermittently, the fuel pump wiring harness may be to blame. If the fuel pump wiring harness needs to be replaced, visit O’Reilly Auto Parts.
How do you hook up a fuel pump?
After making sure that the battery is disconnected and the fuse is removed from the fuse box, connect the wires to the appropriate places. The positive wire coming from the fuel pump can now be connected to the positive wire coming from your vehicle’s wiring harness. Make sure the connection is tight and secure.
Why is the fuel pump wiring so important?
The fuel pump wiring is a critical part of any vehicle. It is the device by which fuel is delivered to the engine. If the fuel pump wiring is not done correctly, the pump will not work, and the engine will not run.

What kind of wiring do you need for a fuel pump?
At the wiring you need to find the 12v supply wire from the ECU to the fuel pump. Once that wire has been found cut that wire so that you now have half of that wiring running to the fuel pump, and the other half running to the factory ECU. Choosing a Relay The relayyou need should be a four-prong relay with at least 14-gauge wiring.
How do you wire a fuel pump relay?
Wire pin 85 of the relay to the 12v supply wire from the stock ECU that you just cut. This 12v wire will now energize the relay to turn on. So now instead of the stock ecu energizing the fuel pump, it will energize this relay.
