No power to fuel pump. Pump does work, wiring harness is good. Replaced fuse and relay. Cleaned connectors at main harness connector. Replacing connector would mean splicing wires. How or what else can I do?

Hello,

It sounds like you are losing power at the relay or the relay is not getting energized. Here are the wiring diagrams for the fuel pump and engine so you can see how the system works and a guide to help you test for power.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers

Used the pump wire harness and jumped from good battery. Pump squirted nicely and hummed beautifully.
