3 EASY WAYS to tell if your fuel pump is BAD!

What's up guys, welcome back to the channel. In this video, I'm going to show you three

ways

to

tell

, ladies and gentlemen, and then some of the pasta could go bad and leave you stranded anywhere, you never know when it's going to go away. You can be driving down the road and then it just stops working, stops working on you. I think that's what happened here. I sent it to work about two or three days ago and got halfway there, sitting in front of a light, like it just stopped working. I tried turn it around it wouldn't go, throw it on the side of the road, I did my tests and porn fingers point to a faulty

fuel

pump

but now I'm standing on the side of the road and no I don't.

I have a way to get home because I'm too far from home I'm too far from work so I had to ask my dad to come pick me up and bring my bike home so I can work so anyway without further ado . Let me show you three

ways

to

tell

if

your

fuel

pump

is better. First of all, I want to give you some ice chips. Well, what I'm going to tell you in this video applies to pretty much any vehicle that has an electronic fuel pump from a power company, okay, nothing that's really like a powered vacuum cleaner like a dirt bike or something like that.

I'm talking about fuel injection systems, it works on bikes, cars, trucks, what's cool with you? If you have an electric fuel pump this could be a problem and these are three

easy

ways to fix it look listen feel good you want to look at

your

fuses okay go to the fuse block look at the back of the real I'll show you here momentarily if you look on the back of the actual fuse block or the cover it will say on, it will also say fuel good and you want to know what fuse it is, you find it, you check it and see if it's good or bad, the difference between good and bad.

The fuses are: you will see a piece of metal on the bridge between both posts inside the fuse and if it is bad, that bridge in the middle will break or burn, you can see that is the part of the appearance, listen carefully . the easiest way to do this is to take the fuel cap off your vehicle, ok, take it off, whether it's on the bike or your car, open the side and remove the cap, place the ear on the fuel pump opening . not your nose, so don't sit there and snort your fumes talking into your ear, what you're doing is turning the ignition to the on position, in this case it will be the key and this ignition in your car would just be the key. turn it to the on position, don't try to turn the car over, just start the engine when you do, you will hear the loud humming sound of the fuel pump, that's ok, and that's listening, you should also hear a clicking noise next to the fuel. pump relay that's my third part it feels good you can feel if the fuel pump is working or at least on a bike you can because it has a slight vibration but on the fuel pump relay it actually has contacts on the inside of the relay, you're not going to hurt yourself, just put your hand and your finger on it and turn the ignition on, and when you do, you should feel a click or a tap, a light touch. the bottom of your hand or your finger, whatever you touch now, if it's in a car or a car, you put your hand over the entire fuse block to hit with your fuse hand over all the relays, so sometimes they should be like little black cubes.

Put your hand on it and have the person start the car and you should feel tapping or twitching on the bottom of your hand and if you don't feel anything I mean if you feel like the relay is stuck and there is the

easy

way to fix that okay tell them to turn off the ignition take it out like a pocket knife or you can touch the top just find something to touch or like a lighter most people have a lighter touch on the top of all the relays and what that does is the tapping loosens them up a little bit and allows them to act and move again, that's because sometimes carbon or dust sometimes builds up there and locks them in place or freezes them into place and they get stuck so you want to loosen them so they have a chance to move again so look, listen and feel and that's the most common way to troubleshoot an electrical problem or how you can tell if the fuel pump It is completely toasted, the last way I will show you. it's with a multimeter and that's checking the actual power line, checking if the fuel pump is giving me resistance or if it's an open circuit, you can tell if the internal motor is bad and I'll show you that here in a moment momentarily with my multimeter I've got it here and let's go ahead and start right so first to the side my goal is to get under the seat so let's go ahead and do that first and I've already taken We pulled this all apart and I figured out what's wrong with it which is a One of the reasons why I make this video is because most people don't understand it, they don't know it and then they get frustrated. trying to help okay so let me show you what I'm dealing with so this is what we're dealing with okay I removed the seat you can see that okay let me point out a few things okay my fuse block .

He's back under the back of the bike, he glows, get the keys to open that back of the bike, so he uses them, they're hidden underneath, but let's get those right, fuse block, he's underneath , here, the fuel relay and my bicycle. at least on this one, this particular model is right here, that's what you would normally be, you know, touching sorry and then the fuel pump is literally here, right behind here, so I'm sure I don't want it to be take care of that. Turn it on well, what I want to do is this, the power button.

Actually I'm going to turn it on and off so just listen well what you're hearing is a click and that click is going to come from right here which is the fuel pump relay and when you should hear like a loud wine that should be coming from from the fuel pump here and now the baby crying in the distance, here we go listen we get a click so this keeps clicking and tells me that the fuel pump relay is good and the fuel injector actuators fuel underneath are doing their thing so I know it's fine but I don't hear the loud grinding noise coming from the fuel pump so let me go ahead and pull this fuse. block here and I'll show you how to test it so use my fuse block it's under here the relay is good so I already took that part apart and I can't hear the fuel pump so my problems I still live around here but Let's check the actual fuse.

Okay, fuses, this is another relay, but that's not for now. Okay, open this. Okay, open it up and I'll show you a picture of what it looks like. Okay now you know what the fuel pump relay looks like and now you know what the fuse block looks like and what I'm seeing here so clearly what I'm expecting it says fuel and it says 10a that means it means 10 amps, so the 10 amp fuse or the seconds on the bottom in this case would belong here. I don't have a puller, a set of pliers so small that you really shouldn't do that if you get a tool man for this, but I don't have one, you know, there's nowhere to try this even without this spare.

Well, now I'm looking at this one and I can delete it. Hello, where is that? That fuse is fine. See how that little one? horseshoe in the middle, okay, yeah, that's a good fuse, so let me show you how to check this without taking it out, if you look on the top of the actual fuse, you probably can't see the tabs in the middle, a little, a little in the middle. points on each side, those are the top posts for these, for the post of this fuse, so what you can do is take a multimeter and grab both sides at the bottom and it should give you an idea of ​​the resistance or something like that.

I will tell you if it is good or not, also in my case what I am going to do now is use my multimeter and you will determine if there is a problem, well, not really, that will be my last step. What I'm going to do is let you hear the tink itself, okay, opening this up, see the powers on, that's off, so here we go, you should be able to hear it, you know, make the sound, absolutely nothing, okay, like this let me I'll show you with a multimeter and this is going to be my last step and this is how I determined that my fuel pump is bad or faulty so this is my multimeter that I turn off whenever you get a multimeter.

There is one thing you want to check and that is continuity. You need to make sure that the circuit is complete and if it is complete it will give you resistance but if the circuit is broken then it will give you an open. loop signal which in this case would say oh L so what I'm looking for in this I mean, okay, it's this here, okay, the orange symbol, that's what I'm looking for, this is ohms, the volts of this are off. But this is continuity, so what I want is continuity. Okay, now, the way you test you make sure the signal is working correctly.

Take the poles well when they are broken. It says open loop means the signal is not connected, but. when I touch them it gives me stamina, it's hard to have a chance, okay, when you touch them together, it gives you stamina, okay, that's stamina when it gives you a bunch of numbers here like that, just break them, open the loop, okay , so what I'm looking for is in here on the motor, if those windings are complete and there are no breaks in them, I should get numbers like that and then it would tell me that the motor is good and something else is wrong.

Okay, so let's check the fuse block itself. What I'm going to do, it doesn't matter if it's black or red on one side, black or red on the other, it doesn't matter what I'm looking for. the end of the fuse block where the fuel pump fuse was and I stick them there and what I should get is a bunch of numbers that would be resistance, however that is not the case and I stick them there. get it right it's one and that's to activate everything else in the system but not the engine itself nor the fuel pump itself so it has an open circuit that tells me there's an open winding on that fuel pump fuel, therefore the fuel pump is defective and needs to be changed and the good thing is that I already knew it was bad before making this video and that is exactly why I already bought a new pump so I haven't taken it out yet of the package.

I have looked at it. and this one here is a good one, from Kem, oh, so hopefully I'll replace it tonight if all goes well, but that's what's wrong with the bike now, let's say you don't have a way to remove that fuse properly, so Otherwise, remember that there are two small metal tabs that I told you about on each side of the fuse. That's what the tips of these are so you touch the metal towers on both of them and it will give you a reading, yeah, you feel like the pump is bad. Alright guys, this will be a summary of today's video.

I'm not actually going to show you the complete disassembly of the tank and fuel pump, so I've already done that in previous videos. You want to see it, but look. That video and I'm pretty sure it explains everything or at least you'll have a good idea of ​​what to expect if you're going to dig into a tank like this or a motorcycle tank if you want to diagnose a fuel pump problem. This is also universal, so don't forget those three easy things: look, listen, feel and you really can't go wrong. Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to my channel.
