Hi All again , 9/13/17
Came home yesterday –car was fine- went to start it today (1998 4Dr- 4WD Chevy tracker)- ran for a few seconds and died. Then I was going to start it again and didn’t hear the usual fuel pump noise. I stopped and went to fixkick pages.(of course) – this what I did so far- Checked fuses under dash and engine compartment- were OK- then went to back to LR taillight- with voltmeter- set on 20v- wires are all clean no corrosion- unraveled gray tape covering connectors- with key on – back tested the Pink wire with black grd and then with body ground.- nothing both times- 0 volts – shouldn/t there be power there all the time? Or only by the time I got to do test it cut off. Or is that what the relay does-give the 3 seconds of power? Whatever- I guess next is to take out the glove box and ck relays under there? How do I test relays and are they interchangeable to test fuel pump.. Lights on the dash came on normally. If there is something else to do , I’m sure you all will advise me.
Thx -- 98TrackerMan
