So, I moved the fuel pump to the front of the car and ran a wire back to the engine compartment. What do folks do with the dangling ground wire? Same with the brake switch. Two wires one connector, so what did you do with the other wire?
Thanks Peter |

OK Guys,
Thanks for the input. Please note that I bought this car in boxes... There is a hood release in the engine bay? SirAndy, so now I am confused. Which wire is the correct one, or should I run both? I have always read that I need to run the striped wire to the fuel pump and ground it locally, but you guys are making me second guess that. When I look at the schematic it looks like the striped wire goes to the regulator plate (whatever that is) and the brown wire goes straight to the chassis ground. So, how would the relay switch to ground? I know this may sound dumb, but I don't know.... |

Sorry for the confusion ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
