fuel pump relays?
« on: January 28, 2009, 11:09:59 pm »
i think it may be a good idea, since they cost very little to put some new fuel pump relays in?  so...where are they exactly?  are they those cube things near the ecu? basically i want someone to talk to me about relays and which ones to change and possibly part numbers so i can order them.

something i havent changed and as they can die its probably worth it...

To be honest, I'd not bother changing them. Buy replacements if you want, and keep them in the glovebox.

The biggest problem I've had is they're fairly exposed to the elements, so you tend to get corroded mank starting to cause continuity issues. I've had pump relays stick on, or just be so corroded they refuse to work. A clean up usually sorts the issue.

yeah i did clean them actually...might just leave them then...or get some at some point but if its unlikely for them just to break there is no rush...cheers for the info lads.
