Q: Fuel pump always running - 1995 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban
I've noticed that the fuel pump on the vehicle never stops running. I checked if there are any leaks and I haven't found any. I checked if the fuses are worn as well. I tried pulling the relay out, but it's still running. The battery goes out after the car sat for the night. What might be causing the fuel pump to work continuously?
