fun fuel pump relay

[keithIOW]

hello chaps... has any one any pics of where and which one is the fuel pump relay please

i have a 99 , 1.6 petrol

 

the car would not start the other day so called "recovery", matey said there was power to the fuel pump, so the pump looked like the problem

ordered one, changed it today, and still the same.... turns over but no fuel flowing

 

i checked the voltage, and there is NOT any electrickery getting to the pump (well 7.7v)

the spade type fuses are fine, but do not seem to have power either, so i would like to try the fuel pump relay

 

and does any one know which terminals i would have to connect, to by pass the relay

 

thanks  folks.................. Keith

The fuel pump relay is earthed by the ecu to switch it on, the ecu is highly unlikely to be at fault, it's more likely to be else where, is the igniton switch working properly?

I'd always advise making some basic checks like fuses and switches before spending any money.

cheers Tom

 

can you help me with the location of the fuel pump relay and how to by pass it just to check it out please

[keithIOW]

wound which one it is

 

 

no noise when ignition switched on, so, 

removed it, bashed it , now it clicks when ignition is turned on

 

still no fuel coming thru though

 

ideas please

Are you getting a spark when you crank the engine?

cheers mukka

 

well all sorted now.. bridged it still no fuel pump life

 

dropped out the fuse board and opened it all up

hmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting

 

the "tracks" were a nice green colour, lose and even melted the plastic fuse board

 

ordered a new second hand one (skoda dont make them any more),

and the truck now lives

 

problem solved....... cheers

Can you post photos of old fuse&relay panel insides? Let's see how bad it was. Must be interesting.

[keithIOW]

got the photos....... 

 

1st 2 are the plastic back plate of the fuse box..you can see water damage and where it has got hot and started to melt the plastic..

the next 2 are the tracks that connect the fuses and relays, again you can see damage and where they have lifted up
