You need to get your hands on a wiring diagram, test light and a DVOM.

you need a wiring diagram of the fuel pump circuit and test all the power and ground points in the system

Default Have you tried...

Has the inertia switch for the pump been tripped somehow? Reset the switch. Also, you can check the pump by the diagnostic plug. Ground the FP lead(far right lead on the test plug) and turn the ignition on, the pump should run. Hope this helps.

I tested the fuel pump wires and connectors and I did used a 12v light on the connector of the pump every time I open the ignition switch ligths up but you barely see the light on mmmmmhhh weird I test the pump directly to the battery and seems to be working well but not when I plug it to the connector it wont do nothing !

There is a button in your hatch near where the wires for the tail lights pop through the metal. You probably hit that button which disables your fuel pump.

I learned about this switch the hard way....

if it barely lights up you may have voltage drop occuring, first thing I'd do is see what the availible voltage at the connector is?? should be 12.0-12.6 volts with a good battery....if not the connector or ground may be bad or bad contacts in the relay that is under the driver seat

you can use a dvom set to volts to see what availible voltage is at connector
