2003 t bird no power to fuel pump fuse

The fuel pump not working in your 2005 PT Cruiser and the absence of a "fuel pump fuse" on the dashboard could be caused by a few different issues.

1. Blown Fuse: If the fuel pump fuse has blown, it will need to be replaced in order to restore power to the fuel pump. The fuse box in a 2005 PT Cruiser is typically located under the hood, on the driver's side.
2. Fuel Pump Relay: The fuel pump relay controls the power to the fuel pump. If the relay has failed, the fuel pump will not receive power and the engine will not start. The relay is usually located in the power distribution center or the engine compartment fuse box.
3. Fuel Pump: If the fuel pump itself has failed, it will need to be replaced. The fuel pump is typically located in the fuel tank.
4. Wiring Issues: Wiring problems can also cause the fuel pump to stop working. If the wiring has been damaged or is corroded, it will need to be repaired or replaced in order to restore power to the fuel pump.

If you are not comfortable diagnosing and fixing the issue yourself, I would recommend taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs.

If I understand your post correctly you have a fuse for the fuel pump that is blown or blowing. Until you resolve that issue the fuel pump probably will not get enough power to run. If it blows when you replace it the you have a wiring problem to your fuel pump. Most replacement gm fuel pumps come with a replacement plug for the fuel pump. Make sure you use it if yours did as there have been lots of problems with the wiring plug being damaged due to the high current draw of the fuel pump.

You could have a fuel pump wire that is shorting out or a fuel pump that is drawing too much current, not a easy fix. You need to follow the wiring for the fuel pump if that is good drop the gas tank and replace the pump.

Is there gas in the tank? Many GM fuel gauges have shown half-full when in actuality, the tank has run dry. Check injector circuits with a noid light or regular test light to see if the light flashes. If the light flashes, but the injectors are not spraying, check fuel pressure with a gauge. If no fuel pressure, ensure that the fuel pump fuse is not blown (many GM cars have the fuel pump fuse in an inline fuse holder) If the fuse is good, check that the fuel pump is receiving power and ground (positive and negative) If it is, and there is still no fuel pressure, the pump is bad, and the gas tank will have to be dropped to get the pump out. Good Luck.

1. The fuse for the fuel pump may have blown or the fuel pump Relay may be faulty. If you have not done this already, check the fuse and replace it if it is blown. When replacing the fuse you must use one of the correct amperage. If it requires, for example, a 15 amp fuse, that is what you must use.

If the fuse is OK then replace the Relay for the fuel pump and re-check.

The location of the fuses and relays for the vehicle are shown in your owner's manual.

2. Check the wiring to the fuel pump.

3. On further testing, the fuel pump itself may be faulty and require replacement.

How to Replace a Fuel Pump

Parts:
1. Fuel Pump - $51.16



DELPHI, ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP -- Meets Or Exceeds OEM Quality, Matches The Genuine Fit And Function

Tools:
1. 3/8 in. Drive Ratchet
2. Floor Jack
3. Multimeter
4. Jack Stand Set
5. Flat Head Screwdriver
6. Mallet Hammer
7. Socket Set

Steps:
Step 1 * Locate the fuel pump.
o Tip: Safety Tip:Always wear safety glasses when working on your vehicle. Wear other personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, for example latex gloves or safety shoes.

Step 2 * Have a friend turn the key to the“ON” position while you listen for a high pitched hiss/whine coming from the electric fuel pump.
o Tip: If the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank, you can open the fuel cap and listen to hear the fuel pump. The fuel pump should run (priming the system with fuel) for a couple of seconds. Once it stops, you should be able to start the vehicle.

Step 3 * If the fuel pump does not make a sound (run and prime the fuel system) check to see if there is a fuse that supplies power to the fuel pump and check its location.
o Tip: Check the owner’s manual for location of the fuse box and fuel pump fuse.

Step 4 * Once you have found the location of the fuel pump fuse, remove the fuse from its housing and check to see if it is blown.
o Tip: A blown fuse will usually have a metal strip connecting both tabs that“blows out” (the wire looks as if it has been chopped in half or broken).

Step 5 * If you noticed that the fuse was blown, replace the fuse with a new fuse of the same amperage and repeat step 2.

Step 6 * If the fuel pump now works, you do not need to replace it. However, you will need to find what caused the fuel pump fuse to blow. We strongly recommend that this is done through a certified shop, unless you have the tools and knowledge to test electrical systems and diagnose more in depth problems.

Step 7 * If the fuse wasn’t blown, it should be checked for power and ground at the fuel pump. If there is power and ground present then you will need to replace the fuel pump.
o Tip: On most vehicles you may need to lower the fuel tank to access the power and ground leads for the fuel pump.

Step 8 * Siphon or drain as much fuel as possible from the fuel tank. Disconnect any possible fuel lines from the fuel tank.

Step 9 * Remove any retaining straps or bolts holding the fuel tank to the frame.
o Tip: You may be able to access the fuel pump from the bottom of the back seat or the trunk of the vehicle.

Step 10 * Using a digital multi meter, turn the key to the“ON” position and check for power at the fuel pump. Touch the negative lead from the DMM to a good ground and the positive lead of the DMM to the power cable at the fuel pump. You should have a reading that is equal to battery power. If you do not have a reading at all, you will need to inspect the power side of the fuel pump.
o Tip: With the ground lead of the DMM still connected to a good ground, touch the power lead to the positive side of the battery, to each side of the fuse, and again to the fuel pump. Wherever you notice the voltage reading goes from battery voltage to 0 you will need to replace whatever wires and fuse are in between.

Step 11 * If you have noticed that the power and ground being supplied to the fuel pump are both good, then you will need to replace the fuel pump.
o Tip: To check for a good ground, place the negative lead from the DMM to the ground side of the fuel pump, and the positive lead of the DMM to the positive side of the battery. If the reading on the DMM is battery voltage then you have a good ground.

Step 12 * Remove any retaining rings or bolts that hold the fuel pump in the fuel tank.

Step 13 * Remove any electrical connections or fuel lines connected to the fuel pump. Replace the fuel pump.
o Tip: If equipped, inspect and replace strainer as needed.

Step 14 * Use reverse procedure to install fuel pump and assemble all components back to their original state.

Step 15 * Start the vehicle to verify repairs.

Hope helps with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

Yes, it has a fuel filter, and if after you replace it you still have trouble, you might want to do a series of tests.

1. Check that you actually have power to the fuel pump. You can do this by taking the plug off the fuel pump and, turning the key to the on position, testing the plug with a volt meter.
2. Prime the fuel rail. There's a bolt in the rail that will let the air out when twisted.
3. Have the fuel injectors cleaned.
4. Check for blown fuses.

The problem with fuel is that there are many sensors that can trigger the computer to shut down fuel system. For instance, some models will shut down the fuel system if there is low oil pressure to save the engine. If all else fails, taking the car to a mechanic may be the only thing you can do.

REPLACE FUEL FILTER FIRST.IF IT STILL WONT CRANK.IT COULD BE FUEL PUMP RELAY OR FUEL PUMP.

yes but if the fuse is not bad then it is a blown bulb. pull the insterment panel aff dash and locat the blown light. replace and have fun
