Any relay can intermittently stick on or off depending on if it is an normally open or closed relay. most consist of a metallic contact that acts up due to heat to make the contact or some are electronic but in either case they can stick and sometimes they can release themselves, best way to tell is swap out a known good relay.

What does a fault code ff 13 on a 1992 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible indicate?

It means there is a fault in the fuel system or something that controls the fuel system. A quick check is to disconnect one of fuel supply lines at the front of the injector fuel rails and see if fuel is being pumped to the rails when you crank the engine (have something prepared to catch the fuel). If no fuel flow, it is a fuel supply problem (see below). If fuel is getting there you could have a computer that controls the injectors that went bad. (So sorry). For fuel supply, this could be a pump relay, a main relay, a wiring problem or the fuel pump has gone bad. Start with the inertia relay (black box on r. door hinge post. Should be pushed down. Then go to main relay and then pump relay. If power from the pump relay to the fuel pump (located in the gas tank) and power at the fuel pump, your fuel pump has gone bad.


Does a fuel relay slowly go bad or is it all at once?

It will go bad suddenly. If the fuel pump is running, which you can tell by listening at the fuel filler with the cap off and a helper turning on the ignition without starting the engine, then the relay is good. If you hear nothing then either the pump or relay is bad or you have a blown fuse. If you hear nothing check the fuse first. If it is good replace the relay. If it still does not run the pump is bad. Even if the pump is running that does not mean it is good. It may be running but not pumping any fuel. A fuel pressure test will verify the pump's condition. Be sure and replace the fuel filter either way.


Ford f150 1988The fuel pump is stuck runningit is killing your battery how do you change the relay and could that solve the problem?

Well first thing is the Relay is on the Left fender on the drivers side, The relay will be Green. If the Relay Does not solve the problem then, if the fuel pump is stuck i would take the gas tank out and take the fuel pump out and examine it. While you have the Gas tank out i would go ahead and change it out. If the Relay Does not solve the problem i would do this.


Where is the fuel pump off switch located on th 2003 l200 sadrun?

There is no fuel pump shutoff on a 2003 Saturn l200. You need to go into the fuse box and unplug the relay that should be identified as a Fuel Pump Relay. It should look a lot bigger than a fuse. There should be 2 big relays side by side in the top right hand corner. The one on the left should be the fuel pump relay.
