Relays & Stuff
Discussion
Ok, for those on the FaceBook group, you will know that im having a few issues with my 400SE .. namely the fuel pump / gauge doesnt seem to be working.
When the ignition is on, the pump doesnt prime (engine does turn over ok though, so its not battery!).
Ive checked the fuses and they are all good, but Im wondering if its the relay (basically trying to rule out the cheaper options before I buy a new pump, or tow it to a garage).
This got me thinking, as the car is reasonably old, would it be worth while pulling the old relays and swapping them all for new ones ?
If so, what ones would I need ?

Getting under the car is an option... I dont have the time to do that at present, Hence its easier to swap things like relays / fuses (Think of it as preventative too ... ie replace old stuff that "Could" go faulty later on"
.. No fuel cutoff as far as I am aware on Hotwire 400SE's ...
Yes, stabbing at the dark at present, hoping its a simple quick solution

One other possibility is the immobiliser if you have one fitted? I think it's common practice to fit this to the fuel pump. Cheers Steve
My immobilizer works on the ignition .. if I donot present the token to the reader, there is no ignition, no dashboard lights at all ... When I present the token to the reader, I can turn the car over,Gassing Station | Wedges | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
