    i ran into a problem with a vehicle last week, the pump was just installed and when the sending unit was put back in the harness popped off the pump, had to replace the harness to repair the problem.
    if you have a volt meter or test light have someone turn the key and see if there is power at the sending unit.

Mercedes Fuel pump is not working.

1. Check the fuel pump fuse: Locate your vehicle's fuse box (usually found under the dashboard or in the engine compartment) and check the fuel pump fuse. If it is blown, replace it with a fuse of the same amperage. If the fuse is fine, proceed to the next step.

2. Check the fuel pump relay: The relay controls the power supply to the fuel pump. You can typically find the fuel pump relay in the fuse box or a separate relay box. To test the relay, you can swap it with an identical relay (such as the horn relay) and see if the fuel pump starts working. If it does, the relay is the problem and needs to be replaced.

3. Inspect the wiring: Damaged or corroded wiring can cause a loss of power to the fuel pump. Check the wiring leading to the fuel pump for any visible damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Repair or replace any damaged wires and clean corroded connections.

4. Test the fuel pump for proper function: If you have access to a multimeter or test light, you can test the fuel pump terminals for power when the ignition is turned on. You should see a voltage for a few seconds as the pump primes. If there's no power at the terminals, the problem could be a faulty ignition switch, fuel pump control module, or a wiring issue.

5. Faulty fuel pump: If all the above steps show that power is reaching the fuel pump, but it is still not working, the pump itself might be faulty and need replacement.

Why my hyundai sonata 1999 is not getting power to the fuel pump

Possible causes.

1. Fuse needs to be replaced;
OR

2. Relay which covers the fuel pump ( FP) is faulty and needs to be replaced. Locate the correct relay in the fuse and relay box and have some one turn the ignition on and off slowly a few times. You should hear the relay that covers the FP clicking and when you put your finger on the top of that relay you should feel it clicking as power to the pump is turned on and off. If nothing, the relay is dead and needs to be replaced.
OR

3. Faulty wiring to the FP or faulty wiring connections at the fuel pump itself. Check connections at the FP first as if it is a wiring or wiring connection issue that is the most likely place to find a problem.

It seems i am not getting any power to fuel pump, replaced pump still no power dont hear pump turn on at key on position check relays but not sure on good or not

Replace the oil pressure switch for the third wire on that sends 12 volts to the fuel pump upon turning the ignition key on to prime. Once oil pressure is achived the computer shuts that circuit off and turns on the fuel pump relay to power the pump till you shut off the engine

I have a 91 s-10 that wont run...fuel pump runs and I am getting fuel to the carb all brand new plugs and wires and ignition coil and module and new cap and rotor? fires up and dies out?

The fuel pump relay is at fault. The engine will start running off the oil pressure sensor for the 3rd wire connected to the sensor feeds power to the fuel pump which makes your truck start right up. When the engine achomplish the standard oil pressure as needed the sensor shuts power off by the PCM default system and turns on the fuel pump relay to continue working the fuel pump. replace the relay and you will be driving around again

Electrical problem 89 gmc pickup

You could always run a fused wire from the fuse panel to the relay. This way when you turn the key, power goes to the accessory on the fuse panel, the fused wire you installed, and to the relay circumventing the problem and creating a protected circuit.

I can get power th the fuel pump when i run a hard wire from the battery to the relay but when i put the relay back in no power to the fuel pump

You need to replace the relay switch. About $17.00 from your local Ford dealer. This will be a dealer item only.

No Power to Fuel pump

I would check the ground for the fuel pump relay that operates the switch side of the relay.
You should have 2 12v inputs to the relay. When the relay gets 12v input, it closes the relay switch on the heavy current side that sends 12v to the fuel pump.

A relay is needed because you don't want heavy current going through the switch.

Also, most cars only run the fuel pump for 2 seconds when the key is turned on because you don't want the fuel pump running without the car running. If you listen closely at the fuel tank, you should hear the pump run for 2 seconds when you turn the key to "ON"
When the key is turned to "START", the fuel pump should run continuously.
The engine computer tells the fuel pump to shut off if the engine rpms are zero.
So, I would check the switch side of the relay. Power amd ground.
