The batt has a full 12v power and does not seem bad terminals are clean . if the batt is good will the alt not working keep proper power from reaching the fuel pump ?

A load test will show the amps of the battery. On the battery label you'll see a Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) rating. When you load test the battery you will find out how many volts and CCA you have. If you have volts but no amps or considerably less amps than you should have the battery is no good. When the alternator stops working the vehicle will continue to run on the battery until the battery is dead. If the battery fails the load test or is questionable or is more than 3 years old at this point, replace it. Also check for any blown fuses. Hope that helps! Jim
