exactly confirming the problem is NOT a bad ground. you can call it faulty logic if you want to, it's not. Unless you want to tell me that the pump motor circuit is open and you have a bad ground at the same time...not going to happen. test light doesn't light on the ground = it is NOT a bad ground that is causing the pump to not run! I agree the ground circuit isn't loaded but so what in this case. you have correctly identified a bad pump!

Nice educational video. When I was unsure if the fuel pump was the cause of my car not starting, I ran a hot wire from the car battery to the terminal on the pump, easy to get to inside the trunk of my Acura (Honda, others similar). I could hear the pump running, and the car would then start. With the fuel pump fuse OK, that pretty much meant a defective main fuel pump relay. Although I could not see any bad solder connections on the relay, I replaced it and the car starts/runs fine.

Thanks for this. Nice and thorough. But if I may ask, what if at arriving at the connecter there was no power. Where would you then start your search for the voltage loss. I have a 2001 Corolla and checked the relays as you show. but when I get to the tank there is no voltage when I turn the key to crank. 15 amp Fuse under hood not blown but when I removed it to check condition the radiator fan started.

@ScannerDanner circuit loaded of course. A high resistance ground may have tested good (no light), however I would have had some fuel pressure and pump operation. In this case it was completely dead. Never rely on a test light to check the ground circuit of a working component. It isn't accurate enough.

Hi Dan, great video here, just wanted to ask could you have gone straight to the pump and tested for power which would have saved you time testing relays and checking they have feeds to them cos if the pump has a good feed then all other parts must be working as i understand power must run through fuse first then the relay and then to the pump?? or was there a reason you went to fuse box first? thanks john.

hi bud, nice video! i have a weird issue on my 99 chevy venture. van died on me, i couldnt hear the pump prime on ignition, i changed fuel filter, the relay clicks but i changed that as well, i replaced pump with a spectra after-market, it buzz's on ignition but dont not have any pressure, i even popped the fuel line off to the filter and zero fuel is present, its like the manufacture of the pump forgot to put in the impeller, i called supplier they told me possible bad pump, i removed and installed another new spectra pump, same darn thing again. i have now ordered an OEM pump, we shall see the results tomorrow. any ideas??? what type of voltage should i be getting out of the 4 pin plug that plugs into the pump unit? if the pump buzz's on 2 second prime does this mean the pump should be pumping??? did i get two bad pumps back to back. any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

@FreeThoughtCrime Forget the light for a second. A good ground on a running electric fuel pump is typically less than 300mv. If it was higher than this then a bad ground could be the cause or the pump motor is frozen and the circuit is carrying 5 times more current than designed. This would drive your ground voltage higher due to heat from too much current. I don't think I am answering your question, can you ask it another way?

Paul you both are correct in your approach except howler using the Ohm meter for circuit testing. I think Howler is using the Load Pro test leads to check circuts. It is a easy way to check for corrosion or bad connections on a circuit since the leads allow you to apply a voltage on the circut and measure voltage drop. "see the videos on you tube under load pro". Love your videos Paul hope to see some new ones soon ! ! Would like to hear your opinion on the load pro test leads. Thank you.

What did you use to hold the wires together? Hopefully at least a good crimp connector. Anyway, if the hot-wire touches ground it will blow the pump fuse. There will not be an explosion as long as there are no external fuel or vapor leaks. If the wiring splices were done inside of the tank unit, there is no danger as there is no oxygen in the tank. Even if the power wire touched ground it wouldn't explode.

you are both correct in your ways of diagnosis. Im sure you are probably using the load pro test leads on your DVOM. Paul is just using some fundamental approaches to his diagnosis using a test lite. Paul loading the circuit with the fuel pump plugged in during testing is the way to do it by only using a test lite. I agree Paul should have used a DVOM at least during his testing.

I have a general question. Why is it that some systems switch the supply side of a circuit (Fuel pumps for example) and other systems switch the grounded side? (Injectors, ignition coils for example) What is the advantage? It would seem to make more sense and save some wiring costs, by switching the supply side and have a central distribution for the signal common return path (body ground). Thanks for making these videos, I really enjoy watching them and they help me to become a better Tech.

@FreeThoughtCrime If the pump ground circuit is good there will only be a few hundred millivolts on that wire. If you connect your test light to the pump ground and battery ground, a few hundred millivolts will not light the light. I know this isn't the best test for a ground, but I wanted to show how to use the test light if that was all you had. Also I realize the only way the test light would light on the ground is if the ground was completely open ......

My 2001 Mercury Sable is experiencing sporadic non-priming of the fuel pump, and the car won't start. I wait awhile, and it would prime and start. I measured voltage of 12.6 v at the relay, same as the battery voltage. But at the connector to the pump, I got only 11.75 volts. (I used the battery negative terminal as ground.) Is this normal or is there a wiring problem somewhere? But since the car starts OK when it feels like it, is it the pump that's causing the sporadic non priming? Thanks.

Actually there was John. The fuel pump wiring was underneath the dump truck bed, so access was not easy until the bed was lifted. On a typical truck or car, you would have to get underneath to do these checks. So not necessarily easy, especially when you are doing road calls. Also I wanted to show the relay tests because it seems that people have a need to know how to do that.

Great video. I'm trying to diagnos my trucks fuel pump. The last test you did, doing the ground to ground voltage drop test, I found that my test light is lighting for this one. Does this mean there is a short somewhere?

+Well if your test light was connected to ground and the ground wire for the fuel pump motor is lighting your light? You have a bad ground wire. Make sense?

+ScannerDanner as in it's not grounded well or it's shorted out?

+Well open ground is what you have not a short. Fix your ground wire and or the eyelet where it bolts to the frame

Thank you sir. I just finished watching your video on the 99 Ford Ranger low fuel pressure. That helped tremendously. Keep up the great work! Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.

I have had a similar problem with my 94 GMC fuel pump on my 94 GMC Sierra 7.4 engine. Parked to do some shopping and came back to the vehicle and it wouldn't start. Changed over the pump relay and no change. Had no good ground either under the hood. Cleaned up the grounding wires and tried to start it and still no gas to the TBI. I ran a test with a multimeter at the wiring link at the fuel pump and it had continuity. I reconnected the link at the gas tank and had examined the wiring at the harness. Not sure what was the cure for the no start but the engine started up like the problem never happened.

yes a parallel circuit upstream of the pump. with the pump circuit plugged in and energized. I promise you if there was a wiring problem on the feed circuit to the pump, the test light would have gone out as soon as I plugged the pump back in. You could argue that the voltage could still be low, but my response to that would be there was NO FUEL PSI! A pump will still run and produce psi with low voltage. Also another thing, the test light brightness was exactly the same unplugged and plugged in

Hi! I very like your videos. There are no much Tech guys out there with that knowledge or do the diagnosis the way you do. I am a Auto Technician and I learn a lot from you, so thank you. I'm curious about or if you can tell me, It is more easy to use the Test Light for this or similar kind of test? What about a Logic probe like "Power Probe"? Do you use it or you prefer a test light instead a Logic probe or other tool? Thanks in advance! My best wishes...

I use my power probe at times, but never use or trust and LED type light or logic probe for this type of testing. Just a regular incandescent test light or a voltmeter test with the circuit loaded

The cap on those relays comes off really easy and you can access the terminals and watch it click or even tape it to on but relays have a purpose so do at own risk

@ScannerDanner Why would there only be a few mV going through the light if the ground is good? I thought that voltage would be the same through all branches of a parallel circuit. Am I missing something?

Help. I have a 2003 mustang new battery but was sitting for a year. needs a jump and starting fluid to fire up. Not getting fuel. fuse is good and no noise at relay. switched with wiper relay and same thing,nothing. Where is the power to the relay coming from. No noise at pump, think it's something easy. please help
