Default Can I test new fuel pump by jumping it from the battery?
1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport
The module is out of the fuel tank, and I installed a new fuel pump. I'm ready to put it back in the tank. Is there a way to jump the pump or module from the battery to be sure the fuel pump works? It would be a real drag to put in back in the tank, reinstall the tank, and then find that the pump does not work.

You can power it up from the battery for a few moments to bench test the motor, but I wouldn't run it long- no gasoline to lube and cool it.
