Hope I'm posting this in the right section...I have been chasing an electrical gremlin for a few weeks on my 88 2.9L 4x4 Ranger that I'm hoping to get some insight on. The issue is the engine will crank but not turn over, fuel pumps are not priming and no spark. Fuel pump relay doesn't switch on.
I have tested that the EEC has good ground connections, the EEC relay connector has a good ground and is receiving 12v at the high and low voltage terminals when ignition is on. However, the output terminal is only giving 2.5v when ignition is on. If I bypass the EEC relay with a jumper wire the fuel pump relay clicks on and the truck will start and run perfectly fine.
I replaced the EEC relay twice, the EEC connector pigtail, ignition switch and lock cylinder and cleaned up all ground connections. I have tested with a known good EEC and still the EEC relay only puts out 2.5v.
I'm to the point where I'm thinking about bypassing the EEC relay altogether and throwing in a switch to toggle the EEC and fuel pump relay on and off, lol.
Any thoughts of where else I should be looking?
