I just finished reassembling the blower and heater flappers in the front trunk. Before I put the fuel tank back in, I'd like to test to make sure it's working (I replaced the heater controls in the cockpit as well). I started thinking that turning the ignition to the on position might trigger the fuel pump...and that stopped me in my tracks. I'm definitely *not* talking about trying to start the car...just get the electrical going to test the blower up front.
I've got fuel line extensions hooked up to the lines that emerge from the center tunnel, and have those taped off. Newb out, thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

You could always pull the power wire off the pump. Or pull the relay or fuse (on relay board in engine compartment).
Edit: Oops. Paul beat me to it. |
