Q: Fuel pump issues
Okay I just got my fuel pump put in my 96 Cherokee Jeep and the relay put in and now I need to get a fuel filter put in my Jeep but my question is now my car won't crank it all and it drained my battery out I want to know what is it that's draining my battery I assume it's the fuel pump that's still on but I just got a new fuel pump and with the relay and all I need to do is put in the fuel filter up under the tank but not everything is dead in my car so I'm assuming my battery is dead but why is it draining my battery is it something else
