Is the striped wire positive? i'm about 97% sure it is, i just want a double check. That would assume that the solid black wire is negative.

 

Thats funny I've been wandering the same thing
I installed my fuel pump last week and still have not hooked those wires up

Lets here it

 

wouldnt you be able to test it with an electical tester while the keys on? have somebody turn the key for you maybe? I dont know?

 

Easy enough to turn on the key and touch the wires to the frame to find juice...

 

i was correct, the striped black wire is teh positive wire.

That's a good plan .. BUT .. when your dealing FUEL pump, next to FUEL TANK ... SPARKS aren't really a "freidnly" factor :P the stripped wire is usually the + ... I actually had my car aplifier's remote hooked up to it mouhaha ... NE hoo, it's been a while but, to my recollection , + = stripped, - = the black one ...

 

The dude abides.

Yeah, and w/ the sparks thing, i dumped about a gallon of fuel on my left arm/ground as i was installing it. I have a fuel pump cutoff switch anyways (the positive wire inside the cab).

 

The Dude!!! Hell, yeah!!! I haven't seen that movie in forever!

Hey, Dude, you wanna go bowling?


They ****** pissed on my rug, man!!

 

I installed my fuel pump last week too. I've gotta run a wire back to it because there isn't one on this car.

 

I had to run new wires for mine. They run under the car. I wonder if that alright?

 

mine go from the front coil hot lug ,under the carpet into the box and hook on there . the pump comes on with the key now.

 

Watch pulling power for an accessory off the coil. TJ tried that with his e fan and it caused all sorts of ign problems.
