Hello all,
I have an '88 K2500 that has sat for a bit and I expect the fuel pump is dead, I was hoping to confirm my logic prior to making uncomfortable decisions about it's future.
I've verified full power and a good ground is present at the end of the harness before it connects to the pump. I've applied power directly to said harness via the fuel pump fuse socket, but the pump is perfectly silent and will not create any fuel flow even prior to the filter. A test light was used to apply the current and it does indicate a complete circuit.
I understand the logic of the fuel pump relay and oil pressure switch as the backup, but those should both be bypassed at this point. Aside from the pump shorting to ground, is there anything else I can blame aside from the pump?
Thank you!
Ben
