How do you hot wire a fuel pump relay? Need help asap!!!!

Check the fuse panel by the drive's feet in front of the door. Make sure all the fuses are nice and tight especially the fuel pump.
I just went through the same issue with my 89 (see 3 posts about this one) only it wouldn't start period. I had to replace the whole ECU.

An easy way to eliminate an ECU fault vs a fuel pump/relay fault is to see if the "CHECK ENGINE" light turns on with the key in position2. CEL, the ECU is ok. No CEL, bad ecu/fuse/ignition problem. I wasn't getting a CEL.

Good tip.Will check in the morning. I do think the CEL was lit.

You can bypass the relay from the fuse box by putting a jumper between the 2 fuel pump fuses on the left side of the fuse. Dan

Hi, get under the car and if you have a test light probe the B+ side of the fuel pump. If there is power then you have a bad fuel pump.Hope this helps.

Should I do this with the relay connected,key position 2?Thanks,

Ok. So I bypassed the relay and got the car home.Replaced relay with a good one ,car started right up.Drove back to work,parked everything ok.Now I get out of work and car won't start. Tried another good relay,no start. Tried to bypass relay still no start. Checked 25 amp fuse ok.Put new relay in ,unplugged new amm and tried to start still no go.I need to move this car in next 24hrs.Need more ideas!Please help!
Thanks,Nelson

make sure you can hear the pumps when jumpering the fuses with car off.

Cannot hear pumps.Car is now home.It is looking more like a pump problem.
Thanks,Nelson

Out of curiosity. Check the battery connections. Especially the smaller wire on the positive post.

From your description, it sounds like it could just be a bad ground or other connection -- be sure to rule that out before you spend $$$ on a new pump!

I have been checking ground connections and all are ok.Friday will be work on the car all day time[day off].I am curious to test a ground connection from the relay.From my "Houston" post someone ,sorry forgot the name,posted about losing a ground connection from relay to ecu.Also will be getting under the car and suppling direct current to pump.Meanwhile my back up 87 is buzzing away.So after the 90 fiasco I will be checking the little hose on the pre-pump.Makes me tired just thinking about it.Not to mention the 60 panels of drywall I need to put up this weekend.Will keep everyone posted.
Thanks,Nelson
