I have a 1995 GMC Safari that is not getting power to the fuel pump. I replaced the pump, as it was under warrantee, and I also tried a new relay. Niether of these helped. I also checked for voltage at the plug where the pump connects but get no reading. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have any anti-theft controls on it?

It does not have any anti-theft controls.

I did some more checking and I am confident that I have a connection from the relay to the pump, but can't find any voltage reading at the relay.

Check your email for a diagram that shows a fuse that may have blown.

Thanks for the diagram. While tracing down the wires I found one that was broken. After splicing it back together the van started right up.
I really appreciate your help.
Thank you!

Suggested Repair

Trace the fuel pump circuit from the relay, including the related fuse and wiring. A broken wire was found and splicing it restored power so the van started.

Conversation Summary

A 1995 GMC Safari had no power at the fuel pump. Replacing the pump and relay did not help, and there was no voltage at the pump connector or relay. Anti-theft was ruled out. After a wiring diagram pointed toward a possible blown fuse, tracing the wires revealed a broken wire. Splicing it restored power and the van started.
