Jumping the Self Test Connector is how you drain the tank if you need to replace the in tank pump
The fuel pump power wires go through the tank selector switch

What year truck donated the tank and pump assembly?
it was out of a 86 but it was fuel injection so it’s all the same

Incorrect. The fuel system changed in 1990 from low pressure pumps in the tank with a mechanical valve in the reservoir and a high pressure pump on the frame to high pressure pumps in the tank and no reservoir.

Ford would change the wiring every couple of years. Are the pumps wired the same? Do you have power at the pump?

The 1986 pump puts out 13-15 lbs

If the pump will not turn on, it does not matter if the wrong one was installed at this point.

Which is why I asked if there is power back at the pump and if the wiring is the same.

I did what you said now the pump works but it still only runs on starter fluid

No. A 1986 pump will not work in a 1992 truck. The 1986 pump only makes 15psi. 1992 trucks need 30-45 psi. It may start and idle poorly, but itll stall if you press the gas pedal.

ok I have a wire off the passenger side fuel rail that’s stopping it from running where does it go?

Right, your engine needs 30 pounds of fuel pressure to run
They will actually run at around 22 lbs, but the spec is 30-35
You can just buy one of the 44 dollar Delphi pumps online and install that in your sender
You get the primary side solved? and have power to the pump now?

OP must have skipped over what I said in post #18 about different in-tank pumps.

Show us a picture of said wire. You said the rear pump didn’t work so how did the front pump continue to work without this wire?

Once I did this connected the 2 pins together the pump turned on

That’s the wire it comes off of the fuel rail it was off when I got the truck
