Fuel Issues part 2

[1986RangerXL]

Okay, thought the truck was fully sorted out, took it to a scrapyard to drop off some metal, and it died. And it wouldn't start back up.

$60 tow and a fresh battery later, I turned the key and noticed.. fuel pump didn't prime. Test lights confirm no power to the high-pressure fuel pump. It is new. No fuses are blown, the inertia switch didn't go off.

I tried a spare pump, no difference.

I see the looms that come from the frame underneath the brake booster, but where do these pumps get their power?

Thanks

Fuel Pump Relay, on passenger inner fender, it will have a Green base, EEC relay has Brown base, WOT Relay(AC only) Black base

pink wire black stripe on the fenderwell going back. if it is stock. if the relay looks good, make sure its gettin power to there



could be a loose connection or green death corrosion connection on sender or in any of those plugs if it has power to the fenderwell...

So I thought I had initially checked the inertia switch right, but I didn't. The inertia switch failed and cut power to both pumps

I put a jumper wire in and it runs fine
