I don't think it's a passlock issue where i'm not getting the flashing security light when i try and start the engine. I don't think the fuel pump would kick it just like that. The fuel pump relay is okay and all the fuses are good. I'm going to trace all the wiring back from the tank and up. Fingers crossed again.

I don't hear the fuel pump kick on but I doubt the fuel pump is shot just like that. I feel it's too coincidental. It ran fine the day I started the BL and now it doesn't.

if you dont hear the fuel pump prime, and all the fuses relays are good. make sure you have power going to the pump. more than likely will need a new pump but could be a loose connection somewhere from when you put the BL lift on.

In the fuse block under hood locate the fuel pump relay. Next to the pump relay there are two empty slots. Short those slots with a very small wire and re listen for the pump.

Connect a jumper wire to a positive, like the one on the underhood fuse block. put the other end of the wire in the spot shown. If pump is good you will hear it

If pump fails to run look for broken ground wire possibly to the inside of the cross member.

I dropped the gas tank today and pulled the fuel pump. Ordered a new one with lock ring.
