This issue has been addressed on and off over the years, but after reading all the posts, I have a simple question. If the little inline 1K Ohm Resistor (that is in the wiring bundle that connects the alarm and the lift pump) is broken or disconnected, what happens?

I'm assuming that the low oil pressure alarm will not work. What I'm wondering about, is will the fuel lift pump start working when the engine is started? Or is it permanently disconnected.

I've been futzing around with this issue for years, intermittently getting loss of power, seemingly when tank is not full. 

Yes, I've replaced the OPS

What I'm really wanting to know, is a simple, will the lift pump get current when the OPS is operating correctly and the engine is running, but the resistor is compromised?

Thanks
