I was told I needed a new fuel pump and after it was replaced I needed it replaced again after just two weeks.
Now I went to a private mechanic And I was told that the fuel pump was put in backwards and that who ever put in the fuel pump screwed up all the wirer's behind the fuel box
Is that possible and do I Really have to have my fuel pump changed again.
Also if this helps ...When my truck stopped the fuel pump fuse was burnt out
Also how do warrantys work
Thanks:SaharaTruck problem or Mechanic problem?Im a tec What kind of truck do you have and year.
Most fuel pumps go in only one way.
Most or 30-60 days warranty.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?Contact the manger of the shop who did the faulty repair. Tell them to fix the problem and anything resulting from the bad repair or you're headed to court. Even if they didn't give youa warranty a judge would rule them negligent.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?If it's a new car it should be under warranty, and no you can't put it in backward. They are takeing your money. Get a male friend to go with you, they don't cheat them as much.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?I suggest that you also contact the Customer relations Department of the company that did the original work, if they have one, or if the manager will not fix it then go to whomever is his boss. As one other party said if the vehicle is yet under warranty then go the the Customer Relations department of that make vehicle, or whatever name they have for that department. Then if they give you a run-around file civil action against them.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?all sounds fishy. If pump was put in backwards or wired wrong it would not run period, would not even start to get it out of the garage. I have often seen a dud pump that only lasted a week or two. Sounds like the private mechanic is crooked. If he really told you it was installed backwards he is truly insulting you as the vehicle would HAVE NEVER RUN IN THE FIRST PLACE. I think he is trying to sucker you into a pile of work you don't need. Go back to Canadian tire and tell a manager what has happened, but be prepared. Now that a second mechanic has had his hands in there it is possible for them to say any warranty is now void. DO NOT take the advice of threatening court as this only offends people and destroys any hope of a civil dealing. I agree with taking a male friend, preferrably one with working knowledge of vehicles. Good luckTruck problem or Mechanic problem?I would contact some sort of complaints department in your state to have them back you up. Having a third party speak on your behalf helps.
Eg here i in Australia we take this matter to the Department of Fair trading and they look into the history of the business and keep tabs on there operation.
If they mislead people then this becomes a court issue and they are summons to repay expense incurred due to there lack of professionalism.
This also helps other so that they don't pull the blanket over some elses head.
Smarten up and don't be afraid.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?you can't put a fuel pump in backward! it would have never run. what kind of truck is it? if its a GM as in GMC or Chevy it could have a bad fuel pump harness connector, this is the connector from the vehicle to the pump assembly. if its not what the hell is fuel box? OH! fuse box? Maybe? would all you people please learn to tell us what the hell kind of vehicle you got and for god sake learn how to smell, I mean spell. and proof read.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?Contact the shop that screwed your vehicle up. Sometimes they will pay for shady repairs.
If the fuel pump was in correctly, it probably caused the fuse to blow.
And the second mechanic's story sounds true and it makes sense why both fuel pumps gave you problems at the first repair facility.
Warranties vary depending on the type of repair facility. If the Canadian Tire used new parts, the part at least should be free replacement unless you drove a lot of kilometers once the part was replaced. Again, you should contact the original repair facility about that.Truck problem or Mechanic problem?it would help to know the type of vehicle. other than that i would probably trust the private mechanic. what he said is very possible. if who ever put it in wasn't paying attention or didn't know better it is easy to put them in backward.contact me at hunter1stshot@yahoo.com and i would be gald to assist you further. best of luck
