Default fuel pump not working

I just got new paint and after I put the scoot back together, the fuel pump isn't working. Ideas?

Might sound dumb, but is the fuel line quick disconnect connected properly?

I had to leave the bike to get to work, but the quick connect it's attached and haven't had a chance to check voltage. One of the screws on the fuel pump panel was partially backed out. Looks like the painter tried to remove the panel. Could that be a possible issue? With the do not remove because you can damage your s*** sticker.

You might be right. The painter might have removed it to paint and possibly "pinched" a wire putting it back in.

If you had it hooked up right and no fuses were blown, I would definitely take the pump out and check things over. While you are in there you might as well check your tubes and hoses.

still down?
who removed the tank, the painter?

If he did it right there is a 15 amp fuse #4a/b that he would have pulled, needs to be there.
Otherwise, pull the seat there should be a 4 pin connector coming down the center of the tank, might have to pull the tank console (3 screws) to see it.

It's possible, I'm going to get in there today with a multimeter and start looking around.

Yea, the painter removed it. He's a car tech and knows nothing about harleys. Said he had to lift it slightly to lay the paint down correctly. I'm hoping to know something in the morning and give y'all an update. Pictures too, of the new look.
