let us know if the new fuel pump works, that was my first thought to check fuel pressure/injectors if it's cranking and you have spark

I hope so! Hopefully on tuesday or wednesday night I'll have time to put the tank back and try. I drove it 8 hours and gave me zero issues, so it's strange that the pump just dies in a moment. The pump itself still works, I tested it (I don't know if it works "enough"). The filter looked quite bad, and the regulator on top of the assembly I've no idea, as it's sealed.

I've got 3 black keys plus the valet key. No transponder.
2 keyfobs, both work fine, except that they don't unlock the driver door...rest is ok. Could this be related? I haven't taken apart the door cover on the driver door yet, only the passenger door as the key-fob receiver should be there.

Factory.
I guess it was modded, cause I never "heard" the alarm (no horn going off, no headlights flash). I don't know if the alarm in the dodge is the same actually, just guessing. I tried the green/orange wire trick, grounding the pin from the driver foot panel (out of the bcm), as found on this forum, without anything happening.

Verify factory alarm. Go here, run your vin, and see if it came from the factory with the alarm. If it did, you may need to have it towed to the dealer to be reset, or disabled......

Nothing. New pump, fresh fuel. Still cranking without starting. Yes, it has the factory alarm like all the 1998 grand cherokee
