I am baffled by this one. I was pretty sure my pump was dead, relay was good, but there was no prime. I got the tank dropped, tested the wiring, and it was all good. 12V on the pump power wire for a few seconds when key goes on, then back to 0. Ground was less than 2 ohms to the negative battery terminal. I Then checked the pump. the resistance across the motor looked good, and indeed was nearly identical to the new pump I had already picked up. I even plugged in the new pump, Just to make sure, but it still will not run! What the hell could be going on...
EDIT: I suppose there could be a wire hanging on by one strand, and it's just taking a shit when it tries to draw current. I will try running my own ground and power lead tomorrow and see which one seems to be the problem. Still, anyone seen a similar issue?
