They have an internal diaphragm that can rupture when it gets old.
there's a vacum switch on my 86 that's on the top of the transfer case between it and the floor board. that switch operates a diaphragm located on the passenger fender well near the battery in the engine compartment. that diaphragm in turn is hooked to a cable that goes to the front axle, and engages. it. your problem could be the switch on the transfer case. that was the case on mine, and I decided that it was easier to route a manual vacum pump from the cab to that diaphragm to engage the front end than it would be to try to change out that switch. not reccomending this, just offering other possiblilites. On my 94 S10 Blazer the vacuum diaphragm is under the battery tray. You have to remove the battery and the tray to access the diaphragm.
The fuel pump relay switch looks like the normal electric switch. The function of fuel pump relay switch is turn the fuel pump on.
The fuel pump switch is what tells the fuel pump what pressure to pump fuel into the fuel rail
Air Actuated Double Diaphragm Pump
A diaphragm inside that is moved back and forth normally by the crankshaft or cam.
There is no fuel pump switch. Stop looking.
It does not have a fuel pump switch. It has a relay and a fuse for the fuel pump.
Power on both sides of switch when in closed position? If so, Broken wire from switch to pump? Bad ground at pump? Bad pump?
Could be that the fuel pump clogged... or the diaphragm for the fuel pump commonly dies out.
There is no "reset" switch for the fuel pump on that vehicle.
The fuel pump diaphragm has broken. Needs new fuel pump.
