Checked power to the module at fuse box and got 12 volts. Main power at module, Red wire with purple at module connector only has 1.4 volts. I cannot find a broken connection. Any ideas?

The first thing I would do is check the ground at the driver's door on the body frame mount. Also, here are the wiring diagrams for the fuel pump driver module so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thanks for the wiring diagram, Ken! After testing wiring at module and at fuse box I found a drop in voltage on the red/violet wire between the FPPM fuse and halfway point to the rear FPCM. The voltage drops to 2 volts. Ran a jumper around the problem area and truck started right up. Now I need to find the damaged spot and repair. Ground wires checked out fine.
Thanks again for the information.

The break was in the square tube where the loom makes its turn under truck frame right under fuse panel on drivers side.
