No switch. Does the pump prime when you turn the key on?

Re: help

Have you cleared the trouble codes from the computer? Might want to check the fuel pump fuse also.

Re: help

well. you took my comment without gettin mad, thats cool. If it's not the fuel pump fuse. it might possibly be the fuel pump relay or it could be the pump took a dump. Hopefully it will be the fuse or relay. Good luck!
