Jeep Cherokee Fuel Pump Relay

Jeep Cherokee Fuel Pump Relay

This morning when I started my Jeep it stumbled and stalled a few seconds after it cranked. When I tried to restart, I noticed I could no longer hear the fuel pump running.

I pulled the cover on the relay panel under the hood and used the paper clip I keep there to jump the relay. The pump ran and I could hear the regulator venting pressure. I put the relay back in place and tried to start the Jeep again.

The Jeep started but stalled again. Again I could not hear the fuel pump running. I opened the hood again and swapped the fuel pump relay and the aux fan relay. This time when I turned on the key, I heard the familiar buzzing of the fuel pump. I guess the relay made its last click this morning. I will pick up a replacement at Advance Auto later today.

Update: Autozone did not correctly list the relay and did not have the correct part at all. Advance had the right part for $13.
