Default No power getting to fuel pump!!!

Hi. I have a 1994 Jeep Cherokee Country and for some reason there is no power getting to the fuel pump. I just put in a new fuel pump and filter and also changed out the fuel pump relay switch fuse and that didn't work, still getting no power to fuel pump. does anyone have any idea what could be the problem???

Thanks,

Thanks,
you got power to it before you changed all this? if you can i would run two wires from battery to the wires to the fuel pump and test jump it off, i have gotten bad parts from the part store. more that i can count on one hand friends taking things back 5-6 times to get a good part. did you put a meter at the pump and see if it actually didnt have any power to it?

Ignition switch? I've got the same problem. If I run a wire straight from the battery to the fuel pump fuse it will work fine, and the fuse itself is fine. I'm about to replace my switch. I'll let you know if that works

Girl,


It would be a good idea to put your Jeep details in your User CP details or in your signature so people can help you more quickly with your issues.
