Car dies on highway, no restart 200 92

Hey all,

today my wife left home, stopped at a

friend's house (cut engine off), then started

it again and was driving down the highway when it

all went dead. Upon attempting to restart it won't fire.

;she calls me at work and I run out and start doing

the usual, twisting all of the glass fuses to make

sure that no corrosion is preventing starting. I then

remember about the fuel pump relay. I've been contemplating

doing a resolder job on another car's OD relay, now I had to

'think about this one.

I'm kind of in a remote area and I need to get the car going.

So this is what I did, I took the cover off of what I believe is

the fuel relay as it's the only relay thing I see under the dash

by the drivers knees. I take the cap off and see the circuit board.

It smells normal, I don't see any cracks, I do see brownish flux on

the contacts that connect directly to the posts that protrude from the

relay, I re-metled these connections hoping that it'll re-connect the

connections. I will now re-check my under hood connections and make

sure I don't have a bunch of corrosion and I'll re-check the fuses

which are glass.

Any advice would help.
