check for burnt connections where the relay fits in place.and check for 12 volt to one side of small pins with engine cranking and check for earth to the other small pin at fuel pump relay.

SOURCE: 1987 Volkswagen Golf - fuel pump relay

make sure you are getting the voltage (V) to the relay. Sure, you can easily bypass this aspect of the relay by shorting the contacts [enables V to relay] but that is entirely different V for the load rather than the V for the coil [which provides EMF, closes relay, makes contact, laaaa].

Evidently, you are getting V to the load [pump turns on once bypassed].

You aren't getting V to the coil side of the relay. Go back and recheck the wiring as well as the pump fuse. Take it out and do a continuity test [out of circuit].

SOURCE: Fuel pump constantly runs

sounds like you haven't got the right relay or the replacement has failed. pull one relay at a time and go back to the rear of the vehicle and listen for the pump. make sure the key is on when you do the test.

sounds alot the the pcm it controls the fuel pump and ign system but the anti theft would keep it from starting because the key has a transponder in it programmed for that vehicle and that would kill all ign if triggered

Answers were too generic and one solution was wrong. Assuming I have a security problem can I "hard wire" the fuel pump from the PDC?Put it on it's own switch?Assuming that the fuel pump is what the alarm...

You can jump the fuel pump at the relay but it is better to find the Purple wire with the white stripe that runs to the driver's door and expose part of the wire and run a ground wire to it. That will cancel out the Security system. Also you may have to lock and unlock the tailgate twice in quick succession with a key from outside.

1998 jeep grand cherokee when coming to stop it starts putering need to put in neutral so it wont shut off put new fuel pump in and it still does it.

Did you replace the fuel filter also? Also check the air filter, replace if dirty. First remove the air filter and see if it help with your problem. If it doesn't I would be looking at the catalitic converter. To check this you can pull out the 02 sensor before the onverter. if it runs better replace the converter. just a note your truck donesn't really need the converter to run, but you have to do it yourself.

Digram for a 2004 jeep fuel pump put a new fuel pump on but it will not come on and fuel gage not working were is the ground wire located

The ground wire is in the wire harness that connects to the fuel pump. This sounds more like the relay is bad. Check the relay under the hood. Your model also has a fuse that can pop and cause the same issue.

1998 Jeep grand Cherokee is not getting fire to the fuel pump. What could the problem be?

Open the hood and as you are facing the engine look to the right and you will see a fuse and relay center box. Open the relay center and look on the inside of the cover you removed and it will show you which relay is for the starter and fuel pump relay. Rather than purchase a new relay remove one of the relays from a known good location (all the relays are the same in these locations). Place the known good relay in the suspected bad relays position. If it works your problem is solved. If not and the relay is good then you need to move to the fuel pump in the fuel tank. This can be tricky and if you have not dealt with internal fuel pumps my suggestion is don't start. Remember you are playing with gasoline here and possible personal injury due to fire. Have someone who is competent to replace the fuel pump if necessary. I hope this helped. Also one other thing. If you turn the ignition switch on and you hear a whining noise that will be you fuel pump. This does not mean it is pumping it just means the electric motor to the fuel pump has power to it.

!988 Jeep Cherokee MPI fuel pressure problem. New everything on/in the fuel system. Can only make it run with a jumper wire from the fuel pump to the battery. Any ideas?

Have you checked the fuel pump relay. If you haven't locate the relay and jump out pins 30 and 87 (there should be a diagram on the relay or if you look at the bottom of it, the pins should be numbered, jump out the corresponding sockets in the relay housing). If the fuel pump turns on when you do that you've verified the power feed is good and the wires to the fuel pump are good. Now with a digital multimeter check that there is battery + on pin 85 or 86. If that checks out, when cranking make sure there is a good ground on the opposite pin (if pin 85 had + on it, pin 86 should have a ground). If all that checks out you can suspect the relay is faulty.

1998 Jeep Cherokee cranks but will not start

Mine did the same thing, I also replaced the crank sensor and it did not solve my problem. I replaced the fuel pump relay and it ran fine ever since. Try that, it's a cheap item, and easy install.

WHEN MY JEEP GETS WARM AND I TURN IF OFF IT WONT START BACK UP

When this happens, have someone listen under the car and see if the fuel pump is coming on. Either the pump or relay may be going bad.
An easy check for the relay is to see if there are any non-essential relays with the same # on them (like a fan relay) when your'e having the problem, temporarily switch the two relays. If this helps, then replace the relay. Before condemming the pump, replace the fuel filter (often neglected), and do pressure tests at fuel rail to see what you are dealing with. Note: it does not have to be fuel... A bad coil or crank sensor can do essentially the same stuff so, don't jump to conclusions before making tests!
good luck
