Default Fuel pump ground

my 1991 f150's fuel pump isn't working, anyone know where the fuel pump ground is or where the fuel pump relay ground is located?

The relay is triggered by the computer with a ground signal. That wire is blue/orange and with the key on and that wire grounded the fuel pump should come on. It's at the fuel pump relay but also goes to the diagnostic connector, that's the best spot to attach the ground to test the pump. I haven't had the truck tank(s) out yet, but the ground usually comes off the assembly and bolts to the frame.

Did you ever find the ground? Think dealing with the same problem on my 90. I probed the wire that goes to inertia switch and eventually to pumps to see if had power, and the pumps would come one when I ground the test like, kick off it I took off test light ground

This thread is more than a decade old, and your post is almost unintelligible. Take a few extra seconds to proofread & edit it; or just start a new thread with a better description of the symptom. You should also put ALL your truck's details & history (as much as you know) into your signature so it shows with each post, as this page explains:

(click this text)


Phone apps don't always show signatures, so you may need to switch to a real browser in desktop mode on your phone, or just use a desktop/laptop computer. Put your location (nearest city) in your profile &/or signature, & upload an avatar of the truck. The more pics you post (NOT in your sig) of the truck, engine, wiring, labels, & undercarriage, the more likely we can help you. Not all its details are relevant to these issues, but you don't necessarily know which ones are relevant, so just put everything in now.
