No power to Fuel pump

A few weeks ago this 97 Town and country wouldn't start 1 hour after being driven. 3 hours later it started right up after many attempts. Now a few days ago it happened again but will not start. I looked into it, found it getting no fuel, No power to fuel pump. Fuse is good, relay is getting power and power is leaving relay but still no power to pump.
What else can I check?

Trace the dark green and white wire from fuel pump relay to fuel pump.

Does anyone know if a bad Cam sensor will cut out the power to the fuel pump on a 97 Town and Country?

What engine?
In your first post you said you had power to and leaving fuel pump relay. But fuel pump is not getting power.
Is this is still so.
If so do not jump to a cam sensor.
How and what wires are you checking at fuel pump relay?
What one are hot at relay?
The fuel pump relay powers the fuel pump from the dark green and white wire.
Do you have 12 volts on this wire when cranking engine or key on fuel pump prime?
To check the cam/crank sensor or to do a fuel pump test you really need to get it on a engine capable scanner. Get codes and check for RPM reading and fuel allowed and do a fuel pump test with the scanner.
Also do you have any after market theft alarms or reemote starts.
Is there any security lights on or blinking?

Hello,
I asked about the cam sensor because I got a code 54 which is the sensor. But after reseting codes it does not come up again. On the relay I tested the actual prongs of the relay for constant and switched power and it works fine. Now after pulling the plugs on the sensors to test and then reataching I must have fixed the power problem because now I have power to the pump but the pump doesn't work. Do you know what wires are for what at the pump. I have Black, Purple, Blue and Green
The green now has power while the engine cranks and the Purple has no prong to attach to on the pump. Im guessing Blue and Black are Fuel gage and ground?

Looks like Im pulling the tank and replacing the pump.

Ohh 3.3 engine

Here is a link to a pdf wiring on it.

Dark green/dark green and white is power to fuel pump
Dark blue is fuel gauge.
Black is ground and always make sure you have ground.
And remember fuel pump relay only powers fuel pump on key or eng start fuel pump prime or engine running.
To get power to pump all of the time with key on or off you have to jumper the power wire with a fused jumper wire.
Good luck MT
