94 fuel pump not working

[fishingirl]

Please help!!! Replaced my fuel pump today but it's still not working. Can't hear it come on at all. Just replaced the fuel relay and still nothing. Any ideas out there??? This is my only car and I'm desperate!!!

[inafogg]

have you checked the inertia(cut off) switch?
should be in trunk right or left side side panel

[fishingirl]

in the trunk??? what am I looking for?? I've never seen any switch in the trunk area, The only thing I've seen is just where the jack goes. Can u tell me more please??

[inafogg]

on side panels(carpet)pull back there should be a switch w/a button on it
push in to reset.right side probaly or maybe side you fuel from
its there in case of rear end collision it shuts the fuel off

[inafogg]

im sorry is this a truck??

[fishingirl]

[inafogg]

im sorry im not sure where or even what they use.
hopefully someone else can help

[inafogg]

hope this helps

The Inertia Switch is located under the back of the drivers seat and looks like a push switch, down on, up off. If you cannot get it to reconnect you can jumper it to get you home.

Check for a bad ECM B fuse in the fuse panel.
Put a finger on the fuel pump relay while turning the keyswitch on...can you feel it click?

What brand fuel pump did you purchase?

[fishingirl]

Thanks Infogg but are you sure there is an inertia switch for my bravada? If so that may be the problem and I would be so gratefull if it takes care of the problem. Like I said, this is my only car and I need it to be running.

Hey Chris,
o.k. the relay clicks, the fuse was burnt so I switched it out w/another 15amp. The fuel pump still doesn't come on though.

[fishingirl]

Oh yea Chris, It is a Airtex. I know that's not what you guys recommend but I'm on limited funds and it was the cheapest. I know, you get what you pay for but dang, It should at least work for a little while, right? Hey, can you use a 20 amp fuse instead of a 15 amp, will it hurt anything to do that?

u need to check the wires to the pump to see if u are getting power and grond to the pump

[Chris Stewart]

I agree with jd-autotech, you need to be sure the wires going to the pump are hot, the fuel tank will need to be lowered..

Our most cool pals Old Master and Maxwedge have spoken often about using non-Delco/ Delphi parts.

O.K. Thanks guys for your help tonight. It's really too dark out to do much more tonight. I'll get back on it tomorrow and let you know what I find, probably be asking more questions.
