fuel pump shorts electrical system

Asked by FogTom Jul 19, 2018 at 05:04 PM about the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I think I have my hard starting diagnosed to the fuel pump but mainly bad check
valve.  Very vague info on electrical effects of fuel pump, when I do the dance
to get it started, somewhere along the line it kills the clock on the radio and my
trip odometer.  Is the fuel pump shorting my electrical system?

1 Answer

Turns out it was my battery slowly going bad. I'm used to them falling off a cliff this time of year in the heat, you try it one morning and nothing. Nope. Battery failed test at Advance Auto, replaced. 3 solid days now no issues, it wasn't the check valve.
