Also the Ranger was starting and running fine before it didn't just clicked whn trying to start it. I think I would have saved myself money and access to driving if I just tapped on the starter solenoid before doing anything. All of this happened when it was sitting in my parking lot. I have...

Sorry typos... "He wouldn't listen" and "I think I want to fire him"

So I asked my mechanic to come over and take out the new pump so I can return for a refund and also passed on the feedback about a ground to the Left front fender. Here's his reply. "I think the best way to save you money is just run a wire to a switch. It's gonna take a few hours to trace down...

When I swapped out the starter relay I remember there's two ground wires. I wonder if I may caused this issue myself by screwing up the ground. I don't understand what is meant by making a jumper to jumper the ground from the top of the fuel box. After installing the new pump my mechanic sort of...

Thanks for the continued advice. I have access to the pump. Neither the old pump or the new pump are getting power. Like I said it did start right up and run for 10 seconds. We were able to verify gas flowing after I believe the Mechanic charged it with a battery pack. I checked the inertia...

Hi, Just a follow up. Yesterday my mechanic came over and tested the current fuel pump. It wasn't priming. Then we installed a new pump and the same thing, It's not priming. So it doesn't seem to be the pump but getting power to the pump. We got it to start and run for about 10 seconds when the...

That's possible, I don't hear anything, but the mechanic that came over didn't hear it prime after determining the motor wasn't getting gas. I'm not really sure what you mean by "Already under pressure"

Thanks again, I do have lights, and normal accesories turning on, I'll ask the mechanic to bring a voltmeter, But basically he thinks it's the pump freezing up while sitting for a week.

So I jumped the fuel pump relay jumper like you suggested, No change. I don't hear the pump prime, although I don't really know what to listen for I don't hear anything. Please see the attached pictures. Especially the zoomed in pic of the module. Do you think that this rules out the relay...

Jeez, Spiel check ;-)

OOps, I forwarded my mechanic your comments and the pig of the relay box

The mechanic I usually use had come over and checked before I posted here and after not hearing the pump prime immdeiatley said it's the furl pump, it's frozen, rusted shut or clogged. I forwarded you comments and he said - " So the fuel pump went out before you took the relays out so how does a...

Do you think I might be able to use a needle nose pliers to pull up the pin? Or would that risk damaging the box?

Thanks so much!, I wasn't sure if that was an issue, But I certainly took out the relay and put it back in a few times now. I don't understand how I get access to the bottom of the relay box to push it back up.

Thanks again for the input. I swapped the fuel relay, the middle one with both other relays - no change, I checked the inertia switch and it hasn't been triggered. I also tried jumping the fuel relay. Could I have messed up something in the wiring or ground switching out the solenoid?

OK, Thanks for the info. It does seem strange to me that the pump could just die while the truck was sitting in my parking spot for 6 days. I bought a Masterpro Fuel pump and went through the hassle of taking the bed off and installing it in early 2022. Of course the pump only has a 1 year warranty.

Thanks, I don't know what the inertia switch is so I'll have to google it. It cranks over like a banshee. It just doesn't fire up like it normally does. It's normally fires right up. This happened while it was sitting in my parking spot.

Thanks for your reply. If the fuel pump sock/filter is clogged or the fuel pickup intake is rusted shut would you still expect to hear the pump prime? When I turn the key to "Run" I hear nothing.

I have a 1994 Ford Ranger XLT with a 2.3 L engine. The battery, starter and starter relay are all less than a year old. The furl pump is about 3 years old. Suddenly one morning a little over a week ago it just clicked when I tried to start it. I charged the battery, swapped out the starter...
