Thread: testing a fuel pump

Hi all,

Well I posted here a few days ago about my fuel pump going south, well I cant get one till 6th jan so I decided to test it and confirm, I removed the cover from the back and pulled the plug then then with my multimeter I checked that 12v was present when ignition turned on then cut a few second later in conjunction with relay click up the front no problem there, now here is my question if I supply 12v to the pump corresponding with the pins I tested for 12v should the pump run? Mine does not so I assume its cactus

Thanks for that but theres a supplier close to me that will do a genuine for 300 so save fiddling round ill just put that in when he gets back from holidays, however I might strip the old one down and rebuilt it as a spare and do a tutorial at the same time, ill see how I go
