fuel tank selector switch

I have a 1994 ford f150. When I switch to the front fuel tank the truck goes dead. The tank is full. Any suggestions on troubleshooting?

It could possibly be a fuel pump problem.

Sounds like a failed fuel pump. When you first turn the key to the run position while the front tank is selected, can you hear the pump hum for a couple of seconds? You can test the switch to rule it out, and I would expect the relay to be fine since the rear tank works.

I';d check switch first . Its easy . But the pumps will die with no warning.
