Re: [DML] Dead fuel pump?

[Warren Wallingford <warren@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Before you condemn the pump, check the inertia switch down by the 
service interval counter.  If it is not tripped, find the RPM relay in 
the relay compartment.  It is a black Bosch piece that this about 2 1/2" 
long plugged into a six-position recepticle.  Make a jumper from four 
inches of #12 or 14 wire with two crimp-on 1/4" blade connectors. 
Remove the RPM relay from the recepticle and jumper from the corner 
where the brown wires come in, across to the corner where the 
white/purple wires go out.  The pump should run.  If it does not, leave 
the jumper in and find out why.
