GM Fuel Pump Relay Testing

The vehicle being tested is a 1999 Chevy Suburban with no fuel pressure. This truck had a new fuel pump installed and still did not have fuel pressure. In this video I will show you how to troubleshoot this entire fuel pump electrical system, including the fuel pump relay, wiring and computer.
