If you have a multimeter then it's time to do some testing. Without having the schematic diagram to look at it's hard to tell you where to start. Is the pink wire fed from a different fuse to the red wire? Which fuse it blowing? When the relay energises it sounds like it's closing the 12v onto a direct ground.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Donating Members 553 Member For: 15y 7m 23d Gender: Male Posted 11/10/10 07:26 AM Share Posted 11/10/10 07:26 AM look on the fuse box cover for the fuel pump relay (I think far left and to the front of the car?) and splice into the pink wire that goes to that relay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
