Default No fuel pump priming when turning on ignition 95 GMC sierra

95 gmc sierra 5 speed. I have replaced every sensor, relay, fuel pump was replaced 4 years ago and just swapped computer today. I installed a MSD distributor and coil last weekend but the this problem is intermittent. I checked power on ignition switch before and after plug in to wire harness underneath dash. All fuses and relays except fuel pump relay has power but 2 grounds show good ground and power wire shows 2.4 volts. Now i jump wire from bypass wire at the fuse box in engine bay and pump turns on fine but turn of the ignition and no pump primes and no relay click. I think pcm is not communicating or maybe a bad fuse link with relay. I have more testing to do this weekend. Plus i do have a new pump and sending unit to install this weekend as well my fuel gauge stopped working.

thanks for the wiring diagram, the fuel pump works fine when i jump power to the test connector and pump turns on fine. With ignition on relay does not kick nor fuel pump primes. Since i have been going thru computer twice already im gonna check power and ground at the plugs for the computer and see if i have a ground issue at the computer. That will cause a burn out and eventually communication issues

does it stay running if you jump the fuel relay, then start it, then unhook the jumper wire

I realize you have checked power at the ignition to fuel pump with (I assume ) switch in run. Is this the original switch? Could be an issue with the switch in crank position. You post the pump does run with a jumper, just a thought.

interesting thought on that i did replace the ignition switch a month or 2 ago and yes the fuses are in good condition i changed all of them year ago. I checked system ground wires to ecu and got good readings the relay was even showing good ground at ecu plug in. So im gonna go thru my grounds and replace 2 ground straps since they are as old as the truck. But maybe a ignition switch issue cant remember if its a reman or new part got it from A1 Auto
