Hello,

Okay, so with the help of an assistant, can you please take a voltage reading at the fuel pump connector yellow wire with your assistant turning the ignition key to the "run" position. In the diagrams down below I have included a wiring diagram of your vehicle's fuel pump circuit. You will need to use a Digital Multi-meter to do this, so here is a link to a guide explaining how to use one below, if needed:

Please get back to us with what you find out, and we can go from there, if needed.

Thanks,.
Alex

Hello again,

Okay, good deal. So you are okay with replacing the fuel pump or would you like us to shoot you instructions from the factory?

Thanks,
