The relay has a coil and contacts, when energized, it holds the contact closed, thus the fuel pump operates.
If the fuel pump relay switch is bad then the fuel pump will not be turned on. Think of the relay like a light switch. If the switch has a bad connection then the light doesnt work.
Most cars have a fuel pump relay switch located either under the hood in a fuse/relay box or on the firewall.
If the relay is bad, then the fuel pump will not work.
Yes, it is a fuel pump relay.
No You Will Not Be Able To Do This. The Relay Is Required To Make Your Electrical System Work For The Fuel Pump. The Relay Is A Switch Unto Its Self. It Shuts The On And Off As Required By The Fuel System. Even If You Were To Bypass It. The Pump Would Run All The Time. Suggest You Install A New Relay
It should be located on the driver side fender... 2nd relay back (because theres a row of relays in that panel) I heard that you can switch the fuel pump relay with the horn relay and if the vehicle starts and the horn wont work then the relay is bad.
The fuel pump relay is under the front hood on the Passenger side, inside a cover held on by screws. the fuel pump relay is Blue or light green. The white one is the "main" one. It has to work to make the fuel pump relay to work when starting the car with the key. To test the pump, read diagram on fuel pump relay and use jumper wire to close the switch and if pump works you can hear it running in the trunk at that cover plate.
does not have one. that,s right does not have one, if you suspect fuel pump issue check fuel pump relay first.The main engine relay and fuel pump relay work in tandom with each other. Replace in pairs, $ 16.00 ea at kia dealer.Tech bulletin about this.
if it has a roll over switch it may be in the trunk over the fuel tank and it could be a fuse or relay if that doesn't work may be a bad pump.
Make sure you have voltage at the pump. If you do then the new pump is defective. If not, the fuse is blown or the fuel pump relay is bad. Where is relay?
yes, replace the relay then check for power, if it doesnt work take out the pump and check it manually by connecting the lead and ground to a battery(watch for sparks, it can ignite the gas in the pump). replace pump if necessary
AnswerYes. All vehicles do. It's not really a switch, per se, but a relay that energizes the fuel pump. When you turn your ignition key, a relay opens to allow your fuel pump to work. The relay is built into several circuits, and if there is no fuel the engine shuts down. This is in case you are in an accident, and smash your vehicle, your fuel pump won't pump gas all over your non-running engine.Hope it helps.Peace.how do i get it to restart pumping?
