Just installed a new fuel pump on my SUV listed above. It's not getting current. We checked the relay and fuses and they're okay. Before removing the gas tank and checking to see if it's plugged in, we want to hot wire it and see if it's getting current. Could you supply me a wiring diagram to allow us to access the correct wires?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi,

I attached a pic from the schematic. The purple wire that ends is for the fuel level and runs to the PCM.

Here are a few links you may find helpful when testing for power, the relay and so on:
