You may see this one twice I accidentally posted this initially in the discussion, not tech section. Well, here is the skinny: I drove the truck all day Monday. It ran like a champ. Tried to start it up tuesday after a major rain storm and nothing. Drivers window was a little cracked, but I have window vents, so only a little water got inside. and onto the floor. I tried to start it and it would not turn over. Very unusual. I turned it off and tried again. Nothing, but this time I smelled a little smoke. I jumped out and looked around. I noticed a little bit of smoke coming from the left kick panel by where the emergency brake release lever is and some from under the floor stripping that goes along the door. It was coming out of where the drivers seatbelt hooks into the floor. I pulled the kick panel and the stripping and it was damp in that trench where the wire bundle goes, but no standing water. I looked for a burnt wire at the forward cannon plug and could not see anything. Then I went to turn it on again. Once all the startup lights went out, the check engine light stays on, and there is no noise coming from the fuel pump upon turning the key to the on position. Any takers? Any help is appreciated. My motorcycle is tore down right now and my wife has the car....I'm in a bind. Thanks!

My first guess would be the fuel pump relay. $10 at auto parts store. On my '91 I believe it's under the hood on the drivers side between the air box and master cylinder.

Maybe enough dampness go in there to short circuit the relay and something else?

Also, I'm sure the other guys would tell you to pull the codes and see what it's saying.

Know all about the bike being tore down and wife with the car. Had to dust off and ride a bicycle to work one day when that happened to me. ;-)
