Electrical problem

Quill · Dec 21, 2007

Hey everyone, my 87 Ranger is not getting power to the fuel pump. The pump is good but no voltage to it. The inertia switch has been bypassed so it is not a problem. I checked the fuel relay up by the solenoid at it is fine. When the key turns on it clicks the relay. I tested it at the auto parts store to make sure. I took the fuel pump off and check the wires to it with the ohm meter and it beeps. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your consideration.

I've lost my EVTM, my first guess is a bad fuse link. See:

Edit:
Also, don't bypass the fuse link unless you want an electrical fire. (If that is what is indeed wrong)

You should really consider replacing the inertia switch. The engine won't die if you get into an accident or roll over, which might also cause a fire.

Thanks. I see there are a couple of links to the fuel.
