95 tc no start

[mgntwo]

I have signiture series and about a month ago i went to start the car and wont start. Still now I cant her started, she cranks but wont turn over. I have no fuel at the rail which is the obvious issue. The fuel pump does not turn on. i tried switching relays but still nothing. Im thinking either the switch in trunk maybe bad or fuel pump. does anyone have any insigh on this. Mice did build a nest up top but cant find any broke wires. Im totally lost and dont want to go fixing things that arent broke, any help will be greatly appreciated.

So how did that go? Was the Inertia Trip Switch tripped??

Try jumpering that fuel switch I the trunk. I use a relay with the cap broke off to test for bad ones. You can see those points opening and closing if it's working.

what do you mean?? get a cut off switch relay, and test it so see if its opening and get power to the pump??

Two separate things to try.

Take the relay for the fuel pump and break the plastic top off of it so you can see the inside workings. You will be able to see the point type contacts moving (opening and closing) if there is any power going to the fuel pump. That will tell you two things if the relay is working and if there is power there. Test this while trying to stat the car.

Eliminate the inertia switch in the trunk by jumpering the 2 wires. Take a paper clip and and jumper the connector. I have never heard of one of those switches going bad.
