I've been working on restoring my old Bronco II to a state in which I can drive it for around two years. Recently (as of this past weekend) I drained and replaced the transmission fluid, after putting the pan back on I ran the truck to get the fluid to get into the transmission and to check for leaks in case I didn't tighten the bolts enough. I had planned on running it longer to ensure the fluid got into the transmission but after about 20 ish seconds the engine died and when I tried to start it again the in-tank pump would not prime and I couldn't figure out why. Well earlier I went and bought a new multimeter to test the wiring. The relay connector, inertia switch, and ecm all had around 12v of power, however when I got to checking the connector for the pump the pins for the gauge unit got around 8v or 9v of power while the pins for the actual pump for some reason only had 0.01v of power. The ecm, inertia switch, relay, fuel tank, and fuel pump are all newly replaced and had been working fine for months. I was going to replace the fuel injectors after finishing the transmission but since the pump wont start I've decided to wait until I can get the fuel running again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance to anyone interested in providing helpful information so that this truck may see the roads again.
