If the connectors are wrong, it's the WRONG pump. Return it

SOURCE: The truck was dying sometimes. We changed the fuel

i dont believe there is a fuel cutoff switch on that yr but you might want to check the pump take it out and wire it straight to the battery for a few seconds if it doesnt kick on and stay on then return the fuel pump... if it kicks on and stays on then you might want to consider a new sending unit as well as the pump it doesnt cost that much more and then you wont have that worry later down the road

SOURCE: I have a 1995 gmc

You might find the pieces of harness at a salvage yard. Also you can use wire connectors available at ant auto store. Use a good crimping tool and wrap the splices with electrical tape.

SOURCE: 97 GMC Jimmy fuel pump won't come on

Should be a green-yellow wire from the relay to the pump. The pump is grounded thru a black wire in the harness.
The wire from the relay should be hot when the relay is engaged by the computer or if you jumper it.

Gas gague not working in 93 gmc sierra

The fuel level gage sending unit is defective, very common problem. The sending unit comes with a new fuel pump and is referred to as a module, also make darn sure you replace the fuel pump connector at the fuel tank, solder and shrink tube the new connector on, DO NOT USE CRIMP CONNECTORS.

I have a 1999 gmc 1500 with fuel module problems there are 2 pumps and i have the other pump. the differance looks like 1 of the plugs on top. i have the plug i would like to make work. they are both 4...

hi, if you bought a new fuel pump assembly you are one of many who had problems with the connectors. so your not alone. the fuel pump manufacturers changed the plug configuration to solve a problem with the existing plug, the plug being replaced is the square plug on the left. the new pump assembly came with the new pigtail and you need to cut off the connector(close to the plug so you have enough wire) and ****-connect the new plug onto the trucks wires. the wires will be color coded to match the old wires, they maybe dirty and oily so you will probably have to clean them to tell the difference. also the pump should come with a diagram to help solve the wire problem.
