Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. Listen very carefully for the fuel pump to run for a few seconds and then shut off. You may have to have someone remove the gas cap and listen there. If the pump runs for a few seconds and shuts off, the relay is good.
how do you tell if your fuel pump is working
Swap the fuel pump relay with another like relay.
Swap it with another like relay.
You did not say what year it is are what it is, So I can't help you like I would like to. But you need to start with the fuel pump relay and the fuse for the fuel pump. If I knew what you were working on I would tell you where that stuff is. NEUTZ.
How Can You Tell If The Fuel Pump Relay Switch Is Bad? Have a mechanic do a fuel pressure check this will tell you if the pump is working properly or on most vehicles you should be able to hear the pump kick on. You can also have the wiring checked to see if the pump is getting power...
The relay is in a block of relays on the left side of the engine compartment just back of the air cleaner. The relay cover should tell you what position the fuel pump relay is in.
Replace it with a new one.
You will have to remove the fuel pump relay or the fuse for the fuel pump. You did not say what year it was, so I can't tell you where it is. SORRY.
If you turn on the ignition key without starting the engine you should hear the fuel pump run for a few seconds. If you do not check the fuel pump fuse and replace the relay before proceeding. If the fuse is good and the relay is good then you know the pump is more than likely defective.
well if you have fuel and a new filter a good fuel pump relay and the wires going to the fuel pump have power and no fuel pressure you need a fuel pump
The fuel pump will not come on. Of course this could be a blown fuse or the pump itself has failed. Check the fuse and if it is good then install a new relay to see if that solves the problem. If not the pump is bad.
