Check for proper Ground to fuel pump circuit. Start at fuel pump, work your way back through wiring, to the relay.

SOURCE: 2002 GMX Yukon Denali XL will not start and battery has a charge.

get a boost to start it. after you start it let it charge up the battery on it's on. if it does not charge the alternator might be defective.

SOURCE: put new fuel pump now the pump runs but the power

If your pump is running on 7vdc, you are not getting enough fuel pressure to sufficiently supply the engine with gas, and it will run rough, sputter, surge, backfire, all manner of unpleasant things. If this is the case, and you are reading 7vdc while the pump is connected, this could indicate a problem within the fuel pump or fuel pump electrical circuit. Turn the car off, unplug the fuel pump wire harness from the fuel pump, insert your voltmeter leads into the vehicle-to-fuel pump wire harness connector, then have a helper turn the key to "on." You will have two-three seconds before the computer senses no fuel pump return signal, and shuts off voltage to the fuel pump. Observe the voltage coming from the vehicle wire harness to the fuel pump connector, it should be 11-13vdc. If it is, and only drops to 7vdc when connected, there is a partial short in the wiring from the point the fuel pump plugs into the harness, or the pump just creates a large voltage drop. Every device causes a voltage drop while in use, but 5vdc is too much of a loss. Re-examine the fuel pump installation, and make sure there are no obstructions over the fuel pump inlet, and that the wire harness inside the tank is okay.

SOURCE: Hello, I have a 1998

If you have 12v ot the pump AND a good ground, then the pump is bad. check for voltage on the BLACK wire, if there is no voltage (o) then the ground is good. If it has voltage the ground is not good, its bolted at the rear crossmember above the rear axle (not the last one) Make sure there is a good connection where the plug is at the pump module.( no melted pins) If the pump is bad, buy a quality pump, like AC DELCO, or DEPHI. Cheap pumps never work. The relay powers the pump for 2 seconds before the engine starts, the oil pressure switch powers the pump once the engine is running.

Kia sedona 2005 diagrama for the fuel relay

Your sure that B+ voltage is present at pin 30 ? If so an you measure no + battery voltage back at the fuel pump , you have an open circuit in that wire . Try supplying B + right to the fuel pump .

I have a 97 gmc sierra 5.0 it wont start it has less than 12 volts of power on pump wire

What do you have coming out of the fuel pump relay ? The connector at the tank includes the ground wire for the gauge which is about 7 volts. Make sure you are checking the right wire.

My 1993 E-350 club wagon wont start Code: 542 =

Replace the TCM to fix the converter clutch problem.. The line 12 volt is direct power from the battery and 7 volts out the I am suspicious off as I think that the coil for the relay is partially shorting out to give the 7 volts. As for the other wire 12 volts in would be ok but if there is nothing out unless it is a relay that has not closed because the relay coil has not activated correctly.. Check the readings against a new relay.

05 c240 turns over won't start

most likely you have a bad crank sensor or fuel problem you need to check fuel pressure ,if you have enough pressure ,most likely you need crank position sensor,if you don`t have fuel pressure ,it might be your fuel pump relay or the pump, i would start with the relay first very unexpensive. you can also hear the pump if it`s working by cranking the engine and listening rear of the car for a humming sound .
good luck

2000 chevy silverado 1500 4.8 4wd will not start

Your pump is controlled by the pcm using a 12 volt signal to the relay. Pull out the relay and probe the relay socket with a voltmeter. There should be 2 terminals with 12 volts when the key is on. With the key off, there should be one 12 volt terminal coming from the ecm b fuse. See top left of diagram below.

Fuel pump not coming on,installed new one, white plug that has a yellow wire has 5 volts and ground is ok the 2 wires in the center shows 0

The plug you are referring to is probably the fuel tank pressure sender not the fuel pump. It would be plugged into a black sensor about 2 inches long pushed into a rubber grommet on the fuel bung. The fuel pump connector would have more that 2 wires going to it. most likely a heavy purple wire would be the power to the pump. It has to have 12 volts to it to work. The sender may have 3 wires, 5 volts, ground, and sense. the pump connector would have 12 volts, ground and 5 volts for the fuel gauge sender down in the tank.
If the 12 volts is not there, check the fuel pump relay. it is usually up on the drivers side firewall.
With the key in the on position without starting the engine, you should have 12 volts to the pump for 3 seconds then it will click off. Without cranking the engine you should be able to locate the relay by the clicking sound.
There is also the obvious, like checking the fuel pump fuse.

I have a 1996 toyota camry, it doesnt want to start its not the battery i just put a new one in and it wants to start

If its not battery,still check the voltage of new battery.In many cases it has seen that battery charge is low,because if the new battery is just kept in stock then it will get drained automatically without any use.So check the voltage of new battery first with meter.It should show exact 12 volt.But if its less or no 12 volt then get the new battery charged.

There are some possibilities which you will have to check in this case:--

1) First of all check the power and voltage to the battery. With meter it will show exact 12 volt if the battery is charged. If the voltage is less get the battery charged at local auto repair shop. If the battery is internally drained and not getting charged then its time to replace the battery.

2) When you crank the car do you see spark coming at the spark plug? If no then its time to check the spark plugs and coil pack. If the spark plugs are not worn out and looks new then its time to check coil pack. The spark plug gets power to spark from coil pack.

3) The other thing to check in this case is the starter solenoid of the car. If the battery is charged and you start the car then it gives power to the starter to start the car. But if starter is faulty or not connected properly then car will not start.

4) The other thing to check in this case is fuel in the car. If there is fuel in the car then check the blockages in the fuel pump if the fuel pump looks proper then check the fuel filter above the fuel pump.

5) If all the above possibilities mentioned above checked out OK/perfect then it's a electrical issue and the wiring's in the car needs to be checked. The car gets power from the battery to get started. so the wires from battery needs to be checked one by one.

Thanks. Keep updated for any more query. You can rate this solution and show your appreciation

I have a 1999 silverdao 1500 i have juice going to the fuel pump relay and no juice to the pump it wont start

The relay has power on 2 terminals not just one. the relay uses a smaller current to control a larger current...Apply 12 volts to the grey wire aka battery positive and see if the fuel pump will run. if it does ,Check all fuses. and check operation of the fuel ballance module.

Fuel pump wont run with key in on position but

first thing to check power at the plug at the pump itself if you have 12 volts there, make sure the ground wire has a good connection at the frame rail,if thats good the pump wire that runs thru the fuel pump hanger maybe broken
