Damn fuel pump in this damn s10 will not fucking work. I know its a good pump cause if you run a jumper wire to it it will run. Even though the wire goin to the pump has power running through it and its pretty good voltage. I am fuckin lost this is probably the reason they just had a wire ran to it to run in the first place

can uhook everything up and check the fuel hose to see if it actually is pumping and not just making noise?

check the harness connector... replaced my old s10 fuel pump by mistake for a bad harness connector. put a new harness in for about $15 from the dealer.

pull the whole sending unit assembly out and make sure the wires on the back side are properly connected to the pump and test for power directly where the wire attach to the pump.
