Q: Truck cranks but, doesnt start?

asked by on November 24, 2016

Truck cranks but doesn't start. I thought it was the fuel pump because I could not hear it turn on anymore so I bought a new on and nothing. I also checked all the fuses and there all good. But for some weird reason we checked for juice the wires that connect with the fuel pump and when they are not connected they have juice but when connected they done hmmmm... So then I checked the fuel trip button and it was pressed down so I looked a little closer and where the wire plugs into the switch box it seems to be burnt. And keep in mind that when I try to start the truck no fuel comes out of the fuel pressure valve any help will be very appreciated thank you!!
