Hello!

Long time missing.
I replaced my ( 3L/111.4in wheelbase) fuel pump with USMW pro series usep2356m. I reconnected the piping and signalling. Now it won't restart not making a sound but the starter motor and battery are new. The truck bed was removed and rear lights are still disconnected. The battery is new and reads 12.2v on multimeter. The amperage, between battery and disconnected terminal , is 0.2 at the 200m setting.

Any ideas?
Thx

The driver panel was working before the pump was replaced. Extracting the pump, even with the special tool, took repeated work with diamond bits on a Dremel which of course could only be done in 15 minute sessions because of the dremel's battery.

I meant - are other electrical systems on the truck working now, after the fuel pump change, when you can't get it to start? For example, do the dash lights come on?

No lights . On the dash or not. Not one sound either.

Battery connections are the obvious place to focus first.
