Keep in mind that this wire will only have voltage to it for two seconds after you turn the key on. It will take two people to check since you won't have time to run back and forth from the ignition switch to the connector to the fuel pump. Find the Fuel pump relay in the under hood fuse box and have someone turn the key on and listen for an audible click. The check for voltage again at the power wire of your connector within that ininitial two seconds. Let me know if you need further diagnosis. I've replaced quite few fuel pumps on these already. Just remember that when you turn the key on, you'll only have voltage for 2 seconds.

How many wire's or the connector ? One connector at the fuel tank connection . 4 wire's - two for the fuel pump - gray is battery power an black is ground for the fuel pump . Two more wire's - fuel level sending unit . purple & orange with black trace . One more connector - this is for the fuel tank pressure sensor , has three wire's , this one has nothing to do with the fuel pump . This is for emission testing only

Where is the fuel shut off switch located

Buick cars don't have them. From the fuel pump relay under the hood, the pump's power wire goes directly to the gas tank and the fuel pump connector.

If your pump is not turning on, check for power on the gray wire at the gas tank electrical connector while someone cranks the engine over. The pump wire, I think it is gray, should have battery voltage when the engine is cranking. If it does, you probably need a new fuel pump. Dropping the gas tank is no fun, it is a dirty job, not real difficult, just not a fun relaxing afternoon.

Can anyone enlighten me on what the readings at the fuel pump connection should be for the three wires on the harness? From memory, I think the colors are purple, grey & black w/ white stripe? I was...

It should be four wires. Gray is power to the pump, Purple is gauge control, and two black wires that are ground. You should have battery voltage on the gray for 3 sec. after the key is turned on. Did you replace the plug-in to the pump when you replaced the pump? The pumps usually come with new plugs

93 gmc sierra 5.7 liter engine, injection carb, will turn over won't start, replaced fuel pump fuse, replaced fuel pump relay, replaced fuel pump inside gas tank, no gas flow to carb , gas gauge has always...

you say you replaced the fuse, but does the fuse have power? the gray wire at pump should have power when cranking, or for 2 seconds when turning key on. At fuel pump relay, put power onto gray wire, the pump should run if the wiring is good. if it doenst run then ck for power at fuse while power is on gray wire.

Cranks but no start

There is no fuel reset button on this van.

To test the circuit before removing the tank, you will need a voltmeter or cheap test light. Disconnect the connector at the fuel tank. On the harness side, locate the gray wire (fuel pump wire). Connect the test light to a good ground. Have a helper crank the engine over. While engine is cranking, the gray wire should have power. If it does, and the pump is not turning on, then the pump must be bad and need replacing. If there is no power on the gray wire with engine cranking, the circuit is the problem, not the pump. Go back and find the fuel pump fuse in the junction block (the fuse relay block where the fuel pump relay is). Check the fuse, also check if there is power going to the fuse. This fuse should be hot at all times. The circuit goes from battery to pump fuse to fuel pump relay to gas tank and the fuel pump.
