I have a 97 with a 5.7,around 87k miles.had been running fine.Today a lady ran into the back of me,no real damage she just hit the hitch.Now the fuel pump is not coming on when i turn on the ignition.is ther a saftey switch somewhere(reset) or did it just kill the fuel pump?thanks in advance for any help.

 

as far as i know there isnt a safety switch, but if your fuel pump doesnt work try your fuel pump relay under your hood... that when bad after i got rear-ended

 

that was the first thing i tried,unfourntaly that wasnt it.

 

took it apart today and the fuel pump was shorted out,also burnt up the harness from the sending unit and they dont offer just the harness so i had to buy another sending unit too.pump-163.00 strainer-11.00 sending unit-345.00 owning a chevy,not so priceless!!!!!!!!!

 

try the fuel shutof switch...I dont know if you have a car or truck but it will be in the trunk by the hinges behind the panelsor inside the kick panals in the cab
