Assuming that your pump start relay is a contactor with overload protection and a 220 volt coil. Connect the incoming 220V to the connection points on the top of the contactor. Connect the pump motor to the bottom contactor connection points. From the right incoming voltage connection point take a # 14 wire, in flexable conduit, to one of the N.C. (normally closed) terminals in the pressure switch. The pressure switch which should be connected into the water line at this time on the pressure side of the pump. From the opposite N.C. terminal in the pressure switch take another # 14 wire, in the same flexable conduit, to one side of 220V contactor coil. At this point, (1) if overload contacts are available, take a # 14 wire from the other side of the 220V contactor coil to one side of the N.C. contacts in the overload block. From the opposite side of the N.C. contact in the overload block take a # 14 wire up to the left side of the incoming 220V connection point. If there is no overload block, as some motors have internal overload protection, (2) take a # 14 wire from the other side of the 220V contactor coil directly to the left side of the incoming 220V connection point. As you can see the circuit is all series connections from voltage supply to pressure switch, to overloads, to return voltage supply. With the pressure switch contacts closed and the overload contacts NOT tripped the pump will start. When pressure reaches the set point the switch will open and the pump will shut off.
Have you made sure your battery is at 12 volts and not 11 volts? Secondly, 11 volts is more than enough to make the pump run (and start the truck). Low voltage is normally the sign of a bad relay (or wire connector).
Should be 12 volts, check the fuel pump relay and clean the ground wire to the fuel pump. In fact clean all the ground connections on the vehicle.
Take the relay out and hot wire the pump. If it works, its not the pump.
That can either be the fuel Pump, Fuse, Relay or the pump itself. The relay will probably be in the big fuse out under the hood. It will be marked. To test the relay, you can pull another adjacent one out and swap the two out to see if the pump will start working. If that does it, just buy another relay, easy fix. You can also look up along the top of the firewall and many vehicles will have a single either red or yellow wire attached to nothing. I cant remember for sure which color, but you can energize this wire with 12 volts and see if the pump will run. If neither one activates your pump, chances are it's bad.
"fuel pump relay contacts dirty or relay bad" I have checked contacts and I have changed the relay....Do you know of anything else?
There is no power to the sending unit as it is a switch (activated by the pressurized oil pump) that signals a relay, this relay in return sendy 12 volts to another relay, which turns on power to the gauge indicating there is pressure
you have to bypass the relay with another wire. which means find the positive and negative leads on the relay which goes from you power source to you fuel pump, take the extra wire and put one end on the positive and the other on the negative "of the relay" and start the car. if the car stays on you found your problem.
my 99 did this. Theft deterent module/ relay had internal short. Then they also found a short in a wire.
The Chevrolet Lumina fuel pump is powered by the electrical system. The fuel pump has a ground wire and a positive wire. The positive wire goes to the fuel pump relay switch.
Start with checking the fuses then the fuel pump relay.
12 volts whenever the computer has actuated the asd relay.12 volts whenever the computer has actuated the asd relay.
