I have an old 1990 inline-six 5-speed Cherokee Laredo that gets driven maybe once every month.

The last few times, there has been this constant drone-noise coming from the aft section at all times that the key is in RUN; I sort of figured it was an in-tank electric pump.

Yesterday, I needed the thing moved out of the way, but it would not start.

Plus, the droning/humming noise was absent.

I rocked the whole thing a lot, sloshing the fuel around, and gave the tank a few healthy kicks, to no avail.

What else can I eliminate before I condemn the pump ??

Is there a fuel-pump relay and where is it ??

Do any of the fuses in the fuse-block have anything to do with it ??


Does anyone have the correct measurements as to where in the floor I can cut an access hole ??


Thanks.

There are relays on the passenger side one of those is the fuel pump. I think you mite be able to get the pump with out dropping it. Look at the tank between the axle and the tank. It mite be there.

I see three relays on the right fender-well, all in a row on a bracket, so maybe one of those.

So you are meaning that the pump might actually be outside of the tank ??

That would be great.

Nope its in the tank,but the opening is in the front instead of the top..Easy peasy.
