Car is out from the cover of my shed while I do renovation work on my house to sell it,been tucked away under car covers @ the rear of my house ,went to move it to other undercover storage and the fuel pump was a no go,checked relay,replaced earth lead which was a bit dodgy,fuse on my rebuilt relay board is ok,a bit lost on this as the pump has only done low hours.
Anyone had one fail ? or other suggestions what to look for before I proceed further but I have little time for this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . |

QUOTE(Krieger @ Feb 12 2019, 07:15 PM)  Your ignition switch may be ending its career. Hi yeah know the issue with the switches,one I have is near new (done 500kms ),more tests showed power direct to pump with a battery and it works,supply wire has continuity to pin 13 on 14pin relay board connector so that's a good start, appears to have power with key on to fuel pump fuse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . Stuffed around with various other things one being a relay change and bingo won a price ,pump worked,appears the large amount of spare relays supplied by PO are suspect (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) . My whole electrical system has gremlins everywhere which pisses me off however now I can move the car to undercover storage. Thanks to all that provided tips and feel like a dick cause I should know better but dealing with 40+yr old parts is a crapshoot afterall. |
