Hey guys,
Before I start pulling greasy tape and loom off a pile of wires, I'm wondering if there is a common point where a dead short in the wiring to the fuel pump would occur.
When I put my multimeter on to check continuity to ground, I have it on both posts of the pump.
Of course this blows my number 19 fuse in the under hood panel.
This truck has had all sorts of electrical demons lately. Then the other day it was missing at an idle. When I fired it up the next day it was kind of running rough, then I took it to town and after a while it was like I had no power. Then it would idle but with the pedal to the floor it would just slowly and roughly rev up to about 800 rpm and peak there.
Finally it died and I had it towed home. I can get it to start and idle, but now I have no fuel pump. Thinking a wire has been shorting on and off? Or am I missing something.
Anything else I need to check? Could something short out on the pump internally and give me the same reading on my multimeter?
Thanks for any help! This has been crazy frustrating.
