Question fuel pump???

i have this weird problem with the fuel pump in my 95 ford ranger 2.3L 2wd regular cab. i pulled up to a gas station, pumped gas and when i went to start it back up it sputtered out and wouldnt start again. i replaced the relay and the pump works when i wire it directly to a battery which tells me its not getting any current. but i know this particular curcuit isnt very complicated. does anyone know what the problem might be?? i appreciate any info at all.



thank you,
johnny

Welcome to FTE!!

I would throw a FP relay at it, cheap and easy.

Try resetting the inertia fuel shutoff switch. Sounds like maybe it tripped or has failed.

The wires that run to the fuel pump have a connector somewhere under the cab,I've heard this connector can get dirty and corroded,and loose connection.
