ok so my truck is having issues or something , I woke up this morning , (it's cold and raining) went out to start the truck and nothing , just turns over.....
I thought it was the fuel pump (the one on the frame), but before dropping $190 Canadian for the pump I thought I was check things first , I went to the fuel rail and checked for fuel and Zero nothing. lead me to thing again the fuel pump ,So I hooked up a 7V battery used for R/C racing and it turned on . this makes me think now the fuel pump works.
I replaced the Fuel Pump relay But I still can't hear the pump , I can feel and hear the Click on the relay.
I looked at the inertia switch and it wasn't tripped . I know there are a number for Fusible links and the EEC relay .
whats the best way to test for power and at which points ? how can a person test the Inertia switch ,

Am I missing anything in my testing ? if the EEC relay was bad would I be hearing and feeling the Fuel pump relay ? or should I replace that too ?
it's snowing here tonight I guess but I don't have much of a choice I kinda need the truck for work ...which sucks
So I could use all the help a person could share. this is the longest downtime this truck has had in the past two years. I normally catch problems before they happen , this one caught me off gaurd.

OK OK Slow down there. first off Welcome.
Now on the in rail fule pump you need to check if its getting power. I don't have a wiring diagram right in front of me so I don't know which wire is power. I reccomend you get a Hayes manual to be sure. Use a DVOM and check for power on the power wire. When the key is turned to the on position you should have battery voltage to the fuel pump for about 2 seconds. If you do and the pump is not coming on then the pump needs to be replaced. IF the pump is coming on it might be the in tank pump (can't remember of those years had that) The proceedure is the same as the rail. Check for power with the key on for the first 2 seconds. Make sure there is fuel in the tank. Check the fuel filter make sure its not stopped up.
Good luck.

wasn't a bad day today , After playing around retesting everything , I
then jumped the Fuel pump from the Relay , by passing any Fused links
and Inertia .

the pump worked ,.

so I went back to the relay and thought about it for a min , I pulled
the relay check the inside of the harness plug for power and It wasn't
happening.

so I replaced the harness plug and the Relay at the same time . and sure enough it fired right way.

thank you for the help
