Fuel pumps use alot of juice typically. I bet your electric contacts/switch are burnt. Could be very dangerous, you should install a relay to handle the load.
I agree 100%, install a relay, & for now, i would disconnect the wiring so it doesn't cause a major problem for you.
Oh, & get a damn good switch, no cheapo stuff, the cheapo's will short out between the contacts when heavy loads are put on them, even though it says it'll handle 30amps, yeah right!! Also run at least a 10 gage wire.

Thanks for input. I've never installed one before, do you guys have idea of which one to buy or where to order it??
They have them at O'Reilly's or AutoZone, you can use the 4 prong 30 Amp. & a good 30 amp switch, just get the one with the connection plug that has the wires, i'm sure someone can post a pic on how to wire up an elec. pump through a reg. & switch. If i remember, there will have a Red/Orange/Green/Black wires.
