Well my car took a dump on me today and isn't running... had to tow the damn thing home w/ my Jeep through rush-hour traffic :\

Anyways, are there any other fuses/relays connected to the fuel pump besides the fuse underneath the dash? I'm almost positive it is the pump itself that is dead but want to make sure it's not a bad connection in between. And forgive me for not checking to see if the pump itself is getting any power yet, as I can't find my dad's voltmeter and have to wait until my buddy gets home from work to borrow his.

TIA.

Btw, its an '89 Firebird Formula

 

BK,

There is a fuse holder near the battery with a 20A fuse:



The relay for the pump is mounted on the firewall:



Other than the connectors along the way, that's about all there is. The relay has a parallel path through the auxilliary oil pressure switch, but the fuse is still the initial source.

 

thanks for the pics vader... knew I could count on you
Knew it was somewhere in the front corner but wasn't sure exactly where.

Strangely enough, I got the car working somehow. Was testing for the connector at the tank and got a reading of 6.5v (off the pink/red wire) or so (that normal or should it be 12v?)... anyways, after I plugged the connector back in I decided to try the car again for the hell of it, and what do you know, the damn thing fired up. So I am hoping it was just a loose connection, and not the fuel pump having a grudge against me.

 

BAK,

The pump should get full battery voltage. Less than that indicates a connection problem somewhere.
