Dead Truck Need Help Please!!
I have a 95 f150 (in sig)... I was driving home tonight and it just like died no sputtering no anything just lost power and died... i thought no gas.. which i was low then i got it started after 20 mins... drove to a gas station and filled it up... then on my way home again it died same as before, this time no start... i got towed home. So far this is what i know:
- runs on ether (starting fluid)
- Fuel pump isn't kicking on
- all fuses are good for fuel and relay also the emergency shut off wasn't tripped
Please help?! Bad fuel pump? Frozen fuel? Truck has 136,000 miles on it!

The dual tank trucks have the switch for front and back. Since the 1 tank truck dont have it, there is something that is plugged into were the switch would be. If you run your truck and let it die, then using a dead blow hammer bang on the bottom of the tank, while someone tries to start it. If it turns on ur pump is bad. You can also throw on a fuel pressure guage, watch the guage and if the pressure starts dropping and then the truck stalls see where the pressure stops at, then try to restart and see if the pressure is there. If no pressure its the pump.

the truck won't run with out either... no fuel pump isn't kicking on when i turn the key to run... where is the harnes to check for power?
do you hit the middle of the tank? Can i just leave the key in run and hit it to hear if the pump kicks on?
Thanks guys!

ok the harness comes in on the front side of the tank in the center if u can see the plug pull it off and clean the terminals and bend the little sockets in a little on the plug so they fit tighter i dint think u have to lower the tankto get at the plug.
