 As seen in the photo, the electrical connector to my fuel pump is "shot". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Looks like A PO had a problem and encased the connector in epoxy and electrical tape. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) The "fix" didn't last. What you see is what was left of the connector when all the "crap" was removed. In your opinion, what would be the best way to fix this issue? Can the factory connector be "rebuilt" or a new one purchased? Should I simply crimp push-on connectors onto the existing wires or build a new wiring harness with #16 stranded wire and new connectors? If building a new wiring harness is the way to go, where would be the best place to connect it in the engine bay? All the way back to the relay board? Lastly, I still do not know if I have a working fuel pump or not! To test the pump, can I temporarily run power to it directly from the battery (just to see if the pump runs)? Thanks for helping a "newbie"... I feel like I am so very close to finally firing-up this thing for the first time (1973 914 1.7)! - Keith |
