Thank you for this info, I was wondering where the pump grounded. They all look good and when I got it running I gave a little tug on each and nothing. Guess it wouldn't hurt to take them off, clean, and re-install but I don't think its a grounding issue. Anything's possible though, appreciate the info.

You might have something going on with one of the wires in the connector plug. Might want to pull the plug and have a good look before it happens again. Glad you stuck with it and got it going again.

Yea, there has to be something going on there...Unfortunately not much room under there to look around but when I get back I'll give it a look.

Definitely not out of the woods yet, but at least it runs for now. Not looking forward to taking it out again to see if its fixed, nearly positive it will leave me stranded.

Stick with mopar sensors wherever possible. The aftermarket fellers don't always play nice.... and you end up introducing new problems, while troubleshooting others.....

Agreed 100%. I didn't see either of those sensors listed as being available from Mopar parts sites online, but I'll check the dealer. Thanks gain.

Use one of the online sites to find the correct part number. (I think rock auto will give ya that too.) Then search by the part number for a source. You can generally find them cheaper online, than from the dealer.
