I have no power at the pump.

I have 12.4 volts at pin #13 on the relay board.

No power at pin #5 or 7, old eyes can't see the stripe colors very well.

Fuses are good.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

How is it wired? Many different ways to power the pump; whomever did the conversion picked one of those ways. Some don't use the stock relays at all. You have to figure out what they did.

David, apparently used the "Sir Andy classic method", connecting one wire from the 4-prong FI connector to ground. The original plastic 'wrap' is on the wires from the pump. but there have been other splices and I can't see whether the original wiring is being used. I can answer that by making a jumper cable for the ohm meter and checking resistance between the relay board and the pump.

Additional display of ignorance: Does the power from pin 14 go to pin 13 on the relay board? What's the connection between pin 13 and pin 7?
