Please Help
My dad has a 95 f150 that will not start. He checked the fuel filter and that is ok and the fuel pump is getting power. He asked me to find a diagram for the wiring and I am having a difficult time with it. Guy at parts store said that we need a schematic diagram? Any advise? Thank you!!!

I believe You started out this thread saying you had power to the fuel pump, and are now saying you have no power to the pump, and there is fuel in the line.
Are you/he aware that when you first turn on the ignition, the computer turns on the fuel pump just long enough to bring the lines up to pressure, then shuts it off.
It comes on again only after the engine starts, or until you shut off the ignition.....then on again.....and again only till it reaches pressure.
This is a safety feature built into most cars since the early 90's so that in case of an accident, the fuel pump doesn't keep pumping and possibly spewing gas all over.

You should be able to hear the pump come on and shut off when you turn on the ignition. There should be a fuel pressure test port that looks like a tire air fill valve on the fuel rail. Depressing the pin will tell you if you have fuel pressure (be careful) On my 94 the pump failed at 120k and the harness connector to the pump (near the tank) failed at 165k.
I use an old spark plug with a grounding clip to test for spark. I think there is a TSB about an issue with the wiring with the ignition module and PCM. Check the FSB site.
good luck
