I can only get the pumps to work if I take the wire off the "I" terminal on the starter solinoid and hook it up directly.when I test the new solinoid there is still no power to the "I" terminal. A fellow said to make sure the solinoid is grounded. On this unit it has a fuel saftey shutoff . it's mounted down by the passengers right leg , it's about 2"x2" . This could be a problem. Also the tank selector valve seems to switch the fuel pumps on and off for each tank when called for but the fuel does'nt seem to be flowing past the valve. I don't know if I have 2 seperate problems or a combination of 1. I'm in the middle of this nightmare and will let you know if I fiqure it out. thanks .
have you found the problem? i have a 1989 e150 that is acting the same way !
