Roofer Billy Report post Posted April 5 Looking for a mobile mechanic near AJ. 1989 Chevy with a brand new 383 stroker. Not getting power to the fuel pump. I've changed every frickin fuse. Replaced the relay and checked the wiring for short outs or anything I could find. Still not getting power to the fuse located on the front panel. Clueless at this point.

dutchmanazA1 Report post Posted April 6 Do you have power INTO the fuse box? With the key into the on position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted April 6 If its the white one you were trying to sell with the body lift, look at anything electrical being stretched. And like mentioned above make sure you have power going into the fuse block. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ocotillo4me Report post Posted April 6 This brings back memories. I had the same problem years ago. Turned out the brand new fuel pump I installed was defective. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchmanazA1 Report post Posted April 6 More than a few have failed straight out of the box. Might want to pull it and check it out. At least then you'd know if it's the pump or something along the wiring path. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CopperStateDiesel Report post Posted Monday at 06:29 PM Don’t trust “new” parts as far as you can throw em. If they’re aftermarket/amazon be prepared to replace it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roofer Billy Report post Posted Monday at 06:33 PM Bought the pump at AutoZone. Pump was just tested and works. Completely testing and examining all wiring for faulty connection or shorts.. So far nothing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roofer Billy Report post Posted Monday at 06:57 PM 😁😁😁 Found the problem. The wiring from the pump . Runs along the frame on the driver's side. Just below the fuel fill tube. On the frame is a fuel filter mounted on the frame. Who ever had it before me installed it. When they did they pinned the fuel pump wiring behind the filter. Over time the filter rubbed against it and two wires were smashed and shorted out . Everything is fixed. Truck is running really good now. I almost forgot what 450 horsepower feels like. O yea 👍😁 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
