    Remove fuel pump relay from under hood. Direct jump to hot side of the pump. You may have a bad fuel relay. Not a fuse but a relay.

    Good thought.

    Did you change the breaker? Check the wiring to make sure the pump is not shorting and causing the breaker to kick over.

    Colleen only just got your last comment I will one day move! and you never know where I might end up heeeee oxoxoxo

    double check the polarity on all the wires

    Dis connect the pump check the power supply then check if it is grounding or rotten

    All four answers sound good. I will try each of them on Monday. I will get back to you then.
