The 74 that I am trying to get running actually has an issue with the Seat Belt Relay under the passenger seat. When I turn the key to start, all I get is a nice,
"Click" from the relay. After reading other posts, I will splice the large Yellow and Yellow/Red wires together, and by-pass the thing completely. Since this car has
not been started in several years, I am interested in knowing the sequence of
events this relay controls. It is my understanding that the fuel pump should get
power and run for a brief time when the ignition is turned on, then with the movement of the key to the start position, the starter should engage. Can anyone confirm if the Seat Belt Relay interupts the fuel pump power in addition to
the starter?

Thanks!

Step by step, I am getting closer to putting another one back on the road....

Also, it my understanding that there was a recall to address this issue. Does anyone have the technical run down on the procedure that was performed during
the recall?

The seatbelt relay does not interrupt the fuel pump. Go to Jeff Bolwsby's site for recall and LE info. Along with other good stuff!

Jumping the relay just delivers direct voltage to the starter circuit from the ignition switch. The fuel pump circuit is separate.
