My truck, 1994 Ranger SXT 4.0 ltr 5 spd. Was saved from a field where it had sat for years. Had to do some work to make it road worthy. Fast forward to present. Was driving until recently when it started blowing fuel pump fuses. Eventually traced problem to previous owner straight wiring from output side of power distribution box to fuel pump bypassing safety cut-off switch (I'm cool with that). I had replaced the fuel pump before I found this out. Now my fuel pump works intermittently. I had gone through the wiring system prior to this so I know everything is functioning. It seems like the problem is located at the fuel pump relay. I've tried numerous relays I have around (kind of a parts junky), swapping relays doesn't help. Cleaning connectors where relay plugs in hasn't either. When I cross between pins 30 & 87 it fires and runs fine. So I'm wondering if I can run a switch between these 2 points and just operate my fuel pump manually. Thanks for your thoughts; Cougar
