NHTSA Complaint #744246 — 1995 NISSAN QUEST

THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP WIRING INSIDE OF FUEL TANK. THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO WITH THE FUEL PUMP'S PERFORMANCE,SUCH AS HUMMING SOUND FROM TANK SECTION OR NO PUMP START UP AT STARTING THE ENGINE. BUT LAST DAY OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR AT ALL DUE TO COMPLETE PUMP FAILURE. I CONSIDER MY SELF AS VERY GOOD MECHANIC AS FAR AS CAR IS CONCERN. WHEN I OPEN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY , I DISCOVERED TWO ELECTRCAL WIRES,RED(+) AND BLACK(-), WERE TANGLED EACH OTHER. DUE TO FRICTION OF TWO WIRES TOGETHER, RED WIRE'S INSULATION WERE MAY BE TWO PAPER-THIN LEFTBOF BARE COPPER WIRE. BLACK WIRE WERE EVEN THINNER THAN RED'S WHERE I CAN ALMOST SEE THE BARE WIRES. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SHORT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY PART WITH DIFFERENT REARRANGEMENT OF ELECTRICAL WIRES. I WAS VERY LUCKY TO FIND THE PROBLEM EARLIER. YOU MAY CALL ME AT WORK OR E-MAIL ME .*AK
