Hmmm. It did something like this once before. A few months ago. Due to another part busting last summer, he filled the radiator up with water to get it home. He never drained it and filled with antifreeze. We had a cold snap for a few days a few months ago and it wouldn’t crank. Changed battery...
Lol. I work long hours and I really don’t have a lot of time to mess with it. But if we can’t figure it out this coming weekend, it’s getting hauled to the shop.
The pump doesn’t come on at all. We had it come on once when it was hot wired.
So what I’m thinking is when the switch is turned on, it’s not sending the signal to the fuel pump to turn on.
I don’t know. This is making me real curious about finding it out. My son needs his vehicle soon so...
I picked my son up after work today since I had some day light left. Tried cleaning the connectors to the computer. Didn’t work.
I started jiggling some of the wires around to see if I could find a short and get the power back to the fuel pump and now it just clicks when you try to turn it...
It’s more of I don’t know what’s causing the issue. Lol
First we thought fuel pump. No power to the pump. Changed pump and still doing it.
So we straight wired the new pump and worked great but won’t start up. It will try turning over sometimes and sometimes it won’t.
Grabbed another ecm...
I don’t think it’s the wiring of the fuel pump that’s bad. We changed out the ignition switch thinking it may be it. I was wrong about changing it earlier. It was the ignition lock. I couldn’t remember, anyways that wasn’t the cause. We bypassed the relay and and had full voltage on the lines...
we changed the ignition switch about a year ago. I guess it could have gone bad in that time. We’ll check everything you suggested and maybe replace the switch again.
Thanks for the reply! Yes. The battery is good. It is only about 2 months old. The pump ran when it was hot wired. I’ll look over the video and try that when we get back to it.
Hello, my son is having a little trouble out of his 2003 Tahoe. It died on him the other day and we suspected fuel pump because we didn’t hear the pump coming on. We replaced the pump but still no power to pump. Today we hot wired the pump to get it to run but it would still not crank. All fuses...
