Fuel pump not working

[sermis]

Is it better to just replace the fuel pump or rebuild it. The one on my mew truck is not pumping. 24V in, fuse good, ground good but pump not running. I pulled it out and sis not see how to take it apart otherthan drilling some rivits out. Saturn has kits for $10 I can get a used one for $100, new one from Saturn $200. What is the best way to go?

What's the chief complaint: Does the pump run but no fuel? Or doesn't run at all?
I've found two problems; pump doesn't run = no power to the motor itself-- look for a broken wire from the head to the motor. Power to the motor usually means new motor as the they seem to be sealed.
If the pump runs then look to a broken or detached impellor; or see if the bottom plate of the impellor housing has come off.

Does not run at all. I was not sure how to detatch the wire at the pump. Motor looks like a seald unit. A few revits around the cage but did not see how to get it apart otherwise.

The wire may get changed out with the motor so it remains a sealed unit. I've always taken the coward's way out and just changed the entire assy.

The pump assy is comprised of 2 parts. The motor, and the pump itself. The motor is totally sealed.. So you ask, how does the motor turn the pump??? Magnets.... When the motor goes bad, the party is over, and buy a new one. When the pump goes bad, sometimes you can open it up and fix it...

Did you check the fuse?
