For my /6 conversion with relay board delete.
Does the factory rear window defogger have a relay? Or is it just a plug in with a fuse on the board? Also what size is the fuse? If it's just a fuse I'll jump it with an in-line fuse. I know it was working. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

If the relay board was taken out there won't be anything connected to the fuel pump wire, it gets power via relay on the board.

QUOTE(Perry Kiehl @ Aug 17 2017, 09:51 PM)  If the relay board was taken out there won't be anything connected to the fuel pump wire, it gets power via relay on the board. I realize that it wouldn't have proper (amps) power, but I know how a relay works, I expected this wire (main harness T13, fuel pump, black/red) to provide one of two ways of switching. a/ switched power on (ignition key) b/ switched ground to provide continuity to complete a circuit. If it works this way I know it would have been getting power from the board. A relay needs two power sources, one would be the external (ignition key) switched circuit which would be low amp power (or continuity) to activate the relay and the other the high amp circuit (pump) switched by the relay. The wire has to do something. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) For now it's no matter, I can get switched power for the pump from the keyed on to the MSD. In the future I'd like to install a fuel pump relay, that shuts off the pump if the engine quits running but still has power. Now I just have to get some of my extra gauges working (oil temp,pressure, WB O2 and Cyl head temp), set the timing and then I'm getting damn close to turning a key.
