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.
