2005 VTX 1800. When you turn the key on I don't hear the pump prime up. I checked all fuses, I can hear one of the relay's clicking when I turn the key on. I switched both of the relay's and they both click. I am not getting power to the plug under the seat from the pump to the wiring harness. I have a good ground at that point. Any suggestions?
With the seat off put your had on the back box that is above the battery. If its working correctly you should feel it click 3-5 seconds after the key is turned on.
I don't have a schematic for the F but honda wiring is pretty similar for most years.
You should have 2 wires going to your fuel pump.
Green--- this is always ground on the bike
Brown--- this is the pump power feed
Now when you turn the key on the pump should cycle for 3-5 seconds so you should see voltage there. If not check your kill switch. It must be in the run position.
If you didn't get any power go to the fuel cut-off relay
check for voltage on the brown wire again when you turn the key on the pump should cycle for 3-5 seconds so you should see voltage there. if there was no power check the brown with a black stripe wire on the fuel cut-off relay the same way. This wire is fed from the ECM. Warning! You need to disconnect the battery before connecting/disconnecting the ECM connectors or you run the risk of frying the ecm.

my fuel pump wont power up there is power going to the pump but i cant hear it prime when i turn it on i read these posts but nothing about how and if you fixed your pump
yes, but it just makes a clicking sound [n the relay
I am trying everything before I replace the pump i am getting power to the pump and the kill switch is on the run position i just cant figure out why the pump wont prime could it be my ecm?
Try and jump the pump out. Un hook the plug and go straight to your battery. If it doesn't prime like that then u need a new pump. I changed mine out myself. Little messy with all the gas but didn't want to spend 700 on part and labor. Got a factory pump off a website for 450. Hope this helps Posted via Mobile Device
im having the same problem but there seems to be nothing on the neutral side of the power the indicator light will not even come on i have it narrowed down to either the ecm or the pump i am going to try the direct wire to the pump and im going to also try a friends ecm off of his bike any other suggestions would be appreciated
