Fuel Pump Bad Ground Wire
1st off, I'd like to thank everyone for the input on my 94 Ram 5.2L Fuel pump problem.
2ndly, I'd like to close by leaving a post that stresses how important it is to beverydefinatewhen checking the wiring harness for power and/or a Bad Ground BEFORE throwing countless hundreds away on "could be" solutions. I did some checking to see if my pump was getting 12 volts for the prime cycle and when cranking the engine, but I did NOT INSPECT AND OHM OUT EVERY WIRE. If I would have done this, I would have found the problem, instead the shop did...and that was after I've spent my tire allowance...tryingmany replacement parts. At least my Dodge is back again and I've learned a very valuable lesson from all of this. An ounce of diagnostics is worth a new set of tires.
Thanks again. This forum Rocks.
