CHECK THE FUSE NEAR THE BATTERY ! Sorry didn't mean to hollar, but so many cars get towed to my shop, even after I told the customer to check the FUSE NEAR THE BATTERY ! Alot of corrosion and battery gassing happens around here. You can have voltage but no amperage. It's like getting into your car and you get ding, ding, ding, all the lights come on, but try to engage the starter and cliiiiick. Upon power-up the system/pump relay draws alot of current. It cant draw that current through a crusty dirty fuse like the one....................... --
