After my injectors getting worse and worse until they finally gave out, then the truck sitting for months waiting on backordered parts and a million little issues while installing, I finally got the new injectors in and the engine buttoned up. Now the fuel pump won't come on.
After the truck was involuntarily parked, I was still able to run the fuel pump to prime the lines while I tested the injectors, so I know it was working fine then. Then a couple weeks later (truck sitting, battery getting low) I went to try it just to see if the truck had changed it's mind. I remember thinking out loud to my wife and saying "I can't hear the fuel pump..." and then left it at that since we had somewhere to go at the time. Fast foreword to now, I got a plug-in battery tender/charger and replaced the spider. The battery tender only charged it to about 10v (according to the dash gauge) and said it was "full". I'm going to try it again today, see if I can get it to top off the rest of the way but when I went to prime it, the pump never came on even though there was plenty of power to crank the starter.
I replaced the relay and nothing changed. Is there some kind of safety cutoff that I need to override since it was sitting with little to no fuel in the lines for a while? Where should I start sticking my multimeter?
