Getting power on ground wire but no power to fuel pump. There is power on main yellow wire power on red ignition switch and power on ground wire on back of fuse box, fuel pump shorted inside fuel tank on red wire, so we are trying to replace with new fuel pump no power to pump (4.9L)

Have you check the fuel pump relay and inertia switch? Here is the engine and fuel pump wiring diagrams with a guide to help you do some testing.

Do you have a dark green and yellow wire at the fuel pump connector? When the ECU energizes the fuel pump relay all you got is 2 secs to check for power at the pump connector. When the truck fires up the inertia switch powers the pump.

Check for power at pin No.8 at ECU.
