madhakish Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Well this is a very new problem. My fuel pump suddenly began blowing it's fuse. Replace the fuse, ran for a while, blows again.. finally sitting at the gas station it simply died while idling and never started again. Too the cover off the fuel tank area and inspected the wiring which was pretty corroded and there are 5 wires, one of which is not connected. There are 4 going to terminals on the sending unit, and one black wire dangling.. A.) Did my fuel pump finally just give up the goat? B.) Wtf is that lone black wire doing not connected to anything? What's the reality of replacing that thing covered in rust vs. Just replacing the entire tank? It's all badly rusted back there..

kdj Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The black wire is the ground wire. By the legnth of it you should be able to find where it was originally connected. I don't know which end came off but the connector has probably just rotted away. There should be some signs left of where it came from though.

madhakish Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Thanks, it's pretty badly corroded, I'll string a new 16ga in its place.. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhakish Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Found a pic here - i can see it was originally attached directly to the cap, next to the 4 wires. Heading over to the truck w/ my soldering kit now. Edited March 17, 2014 by madhakish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
