I Haven't driven my silver in a month. The battery was dead, so I charged it. Went out to start it, it cranked but would not turn over.
Killed the battery again. So I looked here and found this post: D*** Fuel Pump Troubleshooting Guide.
I had already checked the switch in the trunk, and the PATS was not flashing while cranking. I pulled up my black Marauder and set up the jumper cables. Then I did step 2: Fuel Pump Fuse. This is a 20A fuse in position 5 in the power distribution box in the engine compartment right behind the battery. In the past I have seen a fuse not work even though it didn't look blown so I swapped the #5 fuse with the 20A fuse
in position #2. This fuse is for one of the power points so it won't keep the engine from starting if we wind up moving around a bad fuse. I cranked the engine, and it strarted right up. Thanks for the help.

I had a similar problem about a year ago and it turned out to be the FPDM Fuel Pump Driver Module.

Cranked = Turned over

Wouldn’t start, fire, run, ETC.

the turn over thing threw me too

in my experiences if it popped the fuel pump fuse more than likely the contacts at the fuel pump plug are corroded.

We had a NOPD marauder at the shop last year for some work and the next morning it wouldnt fire off. Wasnt getting any fuel. Cleaned the connector for the fuel pump and it fired right up.
