i cant ****** figure it out, im so pissed off,

No power coming to the sender unit, no power at the yellow black wire that runs to the Main Relay. Could it be my main Relay?

I put the new 255 fuel pump in nad blew the stock 15amp fuse. So i put a 20 amp fuse in. And im getting Nothing

Im sure i missed details but im SO pissed off right now.

 

dont use the 20 amp fuse.

when you turn the car to the ON pos there's no power @ the pump?

no power at pump, no power at wire that runs off the main relay to the pump.

 

check your wires on the pump itself you had to custom fit the wires and pump, maybe you pulled out a wire when you put the assembly back into the tank i know it sucks having to take the hole gas tank out but you need to make sure thats not your problem, if that is all good then its your main relay.

 

so if i dont have a wire right on the pump, no power is even going to go from the mainrelay?

 

well this happend when i took the tank down


the possitive wire there the plastic covering broke off, so i had to cover it with sylicone...was that right?

 

sounds like the main relay took a dump..

can you hear the "click" when u turn the key to ON ?

yep

 

 

i also tired this and the fuel pump still didnt work ...



WTF!

 

ran a new wire from fuel pump to the relay and did the jumper cable test,
test light shows that there is some power now getting to the sender unit.

 

I just did my pump and it too was a biatch. I didnt run a new wire from the pump to the top of the pump cover shown above. Why did you? Added advantage? I did run the same 14g wire to the terminal inside the pump cover.

 

i ran a new wire from the main relay to the sender unit, I thought there might be a short in the wire.

 

bump cuz my parents wanna kick my *** out...

 

There is no need for you to take the tank back out yet, if your not getting power right after the relay well the problem is either the relay or something before that. Do not put a bigger fuse in either, you have a problem that needs to be fixed. You could have a short in the wiring by the fuel pump but test to see if your even getting power from the relay. If your not getting power right after the relay, its the relay itself or something before it.

 

like i said $$ to anyone who wants to come here and help.

 

do you have good grounds?..there needs to be ground(-) to get power..sounds like a bad connection somwhere..get the correct amperage fuse also..good luck

 

is there any way to check to see if i can get my fuel pump to turn on? like give the wire some power

 

where are you located?

 

maybe i dont have the right wires?

what colors are the positive and neg wires off the fuel pump?

 

hey bro,

the way to test is the two wires in the picture.

one is power and one is ground.

Black Ground and Blue Wire is power.

Hook up battery voltage it should prime if not either your wiring is fucked up going to the fuel pump or your fuel pump is dead

 

what color is the positive wire from the pump at the sending unit?

i wanna test the wiring from the sender to the pump

 

I'm kind of afraid that you might have messed up your fuel pump from the 20 amp fuses.... You say it turned on with 15 amp fuses, and then they blew... try to use a new 15 amp fuse, and if it doesn't turn on, then you messed up a wire somewhere installing it, or you fried something because you were running 20 amps to it... Just my idea.

 

nope fuel pump never turned on, blew as soon as i turned the key on.

anyone know what color the positive to the pump is? and which is ground off the
sender unit?

the digram should say the colors I sent you remember.
aslo you can test both wires. get a dvom digital voltage meter. probe the wires. which ever wires give you voltage as soon as you turn your key on is the fuel pump wires it gives around 8-9volts. The other two wires are for the guage it tells you how much fuel you have are called the "fuel sender wires".
