looks like all that fuse is hooked too is the fuel pump and your brake lights switch...

There have been a few instances in the past month at my store about fuel pumps or certain sensors on the sending unit going bad, turns out they didn't change the wiring harness. Apparently for any of our warrenties to work for the fuel pumps, you have to change out the wiring harness, not sure why, but you might of pooped it if you kept the same harness. looks like you'll have to drop the tank and hotwire the pump to see if it runs. hopefully we didn't get a bad batch, my pump wont be going in for months, so who knows by then.

How much time have you put on that pump since install?

I am hoping they send me the leftover one, still waiting for a response...

And I used the stock wiring, so the pump if anything should be running at less that full load...

If you want i'll send out the new fuel pump out to you this week if you plan on dropping the tank this weekend so that way you can get it back on the road quicker.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, I never really heard about any problems with Walboro fuel pumps, I have the same fuel pump in my GN and its been in there for 5 years now.

Just shoot me a PM with your address and I'll have Matt send it out tomorrow.

Relay checks out, fuse checks out....

New pump as of a week ago... old one worked fine... just died on me, no sound when you prime it, nada.

Dead fuel pump.

also if it's the fuel pump you don't have to drop the tank to gain access to the fuel pump.. do what i did and go through the top it takes about an hour to do the whole thing... then cover it with a piece of sheet metal you can get from home depot ..... i dont have the picture of the completed item but you can get the idea ... plus it does not harm anything and also you will have future access if you need to replace or upgrade later
