A pump trip is when a pump shuts down or stops operation unexpectedly due to a fault or issue in the system. This can be caused by factors such as motor overload, loss of power supply, or mechanical failure. Pump trips can disrupt processes and may require troubleshooting to determine the root cause and restore normal operation.
The fuel pump does not normally have to be "reset". If the vehicle is in a crash that causes the inertia switch to trip, the switch will have to be reset before the fuel pump will run.

Dirty Air Filters or dirty coil on inside unit.
Check for a clogged fuel filter, is the fuel pump working? Did someone trip the fuel relay switch which cuts off current to the fuel pump?
The problem is most likely the fuel pump or possibly a problem with an electronic component. Have the fuel pump tested first.
A condensate pump might trip a GFCI if there is a ground fault or water leakage causing an imbalance in the electrical circuit. The GFCI detects this imbalance and shuts off the power to prevent electric shock. It is important to investigate and resolve the issue to prevent further damage and ensure safety.
That's the inertia switch for the electric fuel pump , if the Ford Explorer receives a substantial jolt like being in an accident or maybe hitting a bad pothole , then the switch might trip opening the circuit to the electric fuel pump so no power flows to the fuel pump
Fill the tank with fuel but do not hit the trigger on the pump to put more in, just let it shut off by itself. Hit the button on your trip meter to set it to zero. Drive it around town for a few days and the refill it, preferably at the same pump. Again, dont try to put more in it. Divide the number of miles on your trip meter by the amount of fuel you pumped in it the second time. This will give you your city mpg. If you want the highway mpg do the same thing but take it for a trip on the highway before you refill it.
Trip Trip was created in 2001.
Yes, an older pump/motor can draw more amps. This usually happens when the motors windings are going bad or the bearings are going out. This causes the motor to have to work harder to rotate. It should have its own breaker. If its blowing your main, The motors windings are probably bad and the motor should be replaced.
Sounds like the pump has an internal ground-fault, and that the pump is not grounded by virtue of its frame bolted to a grounded surface, such as sitting on a dry concrete slab with non-metalic hoses. Also, the extension cord is either 2-wire (no ground) or 3-wire but the ground prong is broken, disabled, or defective. When plugged into the GFI directly, the ground-fault is detected and trips. When plugged into the ungrounded cord, the ground-fault is undetected because the frame of the motor is ungrounded. THIS IS DANGEROUS in that the pump motor frame is partially energized and can shock someone who grounds the frame with their body. That is the whole purpose of the GFI device - to prevent shocks. But it is much safer to have the equipment properly grounded. You can confirm this theory by taking an insulated wire with the tips stripped and touch (while the motor is running) from the motor's frame to a known good ground, and the GFI should trip. The pump is defective and should be taken out of service.
