I did check all fuses. It appears that the only fuse for the fuel pump on a 2.3L is number 23 which is a 20amp mini fuse. Then the relay is 46a under the hood. I did check all fuses but will check again. I have a little prong tool that you touch to each fuse and if it's good the little led on the tool lights up green.
I will put a known working fuse that I pulled and put that in 46a in the morning.
I did check the inertia switch. I went to push the red button down and it was already depressed. Is this something that I can check for functionality or do these go bad after some time? IE: How does one trip it to then depress the plunger? I don't think that is a problem only because I was able to move the truck and in all the years I have driven not once have I ever had to depress the button for it to trip.
I started spraying down the rear 4 bed bolts. I can't seem to see/find them for the two front loner bolts. I am going to try and remove the bed liner tomorrow. Hopefully it just pulls/slides out after I remove the 4 tie downs on the sides. Then I can at least spray the tops of the bolts. They didn't look as bad as some of the pictures I've seen but we'll see when I go to take them out. I think an impact with the t55 bit will be best since when I sometimes use a breaker bar bolts just sheer off which I am really hoping does not happen.
Appreciate all the help!
More updates will follow.
