1996 Chev Blazer Won't Start - Fuel System

Question: Last night I was driving down the road, 40 mph and the 1996 Blazer just cut out and died. Treid to start it plenty of turnover power. Had it towed to my house. I notice that I do not have the fuel pump priming noise when I put the key in the on position. Could it be a power problem somewhere? How do I test it? I found what I think is the fuel pump lead, a red wire with a plastic cover on the driverside fender. I put 12 volts positive to this lead and it looked like it was shorting out. Black marks left on the battery top terminal. Any ideas?

Technican: it is very common for the fuel pump to just die on these vehicles. That is what your problem sounds like. It is relatively easy to replace the fuel pump (which is in the tank)if you have any mechanical skills. otherwise I recommend having the truck towed to a shop that you trust and having the repair done there..
