Was wheeling this last weekend and ended up stuck in the Mendocino Forest with no fuel pressure. After about 2 hours of trouble shooting, I confirmed the fuel pump is not getting power.
I managed to hot wire the pump directly to a 12v source I had in my center console for a USB charger plug. I managed to get home on a ‘wing and a prayer’, some might say.
Unfortunately, my workshop manual is with a buddy, he’s doing a HG job, and I’m heading to the Rubicon Wednesday morning. Admittedly, I’m looking for the ‘readers digest version‘ of where I should be looking for the problem so I can run Rubicon without twisting two pink wires together….although I am prepared for that.
I’ve checked all the fuses that I can find but I’m not sure I’m looking in all the right places ? Where/how does the fuel pump get its power ? If it helps, the OBD port is also out since I run a scan tool plugged into that for my temps and other info. All other electrical functions seem to be happening.
Thanks guys !!
