If you take the motor mounts loose and jack the engine up high enough it might be possible to get the pan off and the pump out without taking the motor completely out.
Oil field +pump = Jack pump
no, take right wheel well cover off it will be looking at you..
The fuel pump arrow points away from the fuel tank and points toward the engine.
jack up the caravan and place it on jack stands, remove the passenger side tire, take out the three bolts on the pulley. then side a floor jack with a block of wood under the oil pan where it curves at because that is the strongest point. jack up the engine just a little so that you can remove the top motor mount bolts on the passenger side. once the motor mount is loose then lower the jack slowly so the motor tilts at a angle. then you drain the water out and remove the pulley and then the bolts from the water pump to block. clean surface good and replace with a new water pump and seal, and then just go in reverse order .
You will need to unbolt the motor and transmission from their mounts. jack up the motor, drain and remove the lower oil pan. That should give you access to the pump. If your going to do it you might want to change your main barrings at the same time.
you should be able to just drop the oil pan and axcess the oil pump. you may have to jack the motor up a bit tho.
The operation of the pump in a hydraulic jack is to generate pressure. This causes the jack to rise and lift as needed.
This Just Happened to mine Id take it to a mechanic the oil pump is above the 4wheel drive youd have to take off the motor mounts and jack the motor up is a pain in the butt. After the Part and labor your looking at 350-400$ fix
you have to rmove the timming cove the oil pump is located in the loer left corner you can loosen the motor mount and trans mounts then jack up the motoer but its a little more work
disconnect motor mount from right frame (passenger side) jack motor up about 6 to 8 inches....then it is a breeze. otherwise impossible!
If the breaker is not at fault, you are drawing too much current. When a pump motor starts it requires much more current that when it is up and running. It is likely that the impeller on the pump is being retarded in some way making it harder for the pump to come up to speed and drawing more current. You can likely disassemble the pump and remove the impeller and see if the problem persists. If so the rotor of the motor may be binding and causing drag or there is a short in the motor windings. When you have the motor apart check the starting centrifugal switch, the motor may not be getting out of the start winding and into the run winding.
