Fuel Pump Relay Testing - Early 107's
On Sunday, the Wayward Woman ('81 380SL) turned over but refused to start. Very politely, in the garage. No noise from fuel pump. I jumped pins 1 & 2, and the pump ran, which would indicate a bad relay, but I decided to run through the tests in the manual to be sure. I thought I would write them up, since they are fairly straighforward, and there are conditions that could lead to replacing a relay when a wire or the TDI (ignition unit) is bad.
Note that this test is for cars with the older six-pin relay. The tests for the newer twelve-pin are different. Remove relay. 1. Ignition off. Pin 2 - ground: 12V 2. Ignition on. Pin 3 - ground: 12V 3. Ignition off. Pin 2 - Pin 5 (ground): 12V 4. Check for RPM signal at Pin 4 with starter operating. I ran this test with my twenty-year-old Sears analog dwell/RPM tester, connecting the lead that would normally go to "-" on the coil to Pin 4. Insert relay partially. 5. Check for voltage on the partially-inserted Pin 6 with the starter operating. Corrective action for steps 1-3 is fix open circuit. Step 4 is to check for a bad connection from the TDI, and if none, replace the TDI (gulp!). Step 5 is to replace the relay. |
Thank you
Thank you.:)
Where is the relay? A picture of location would be very nice. This has been added to: ShopForum > Technical Information and Support > Do It Yourself Resources Fuel Delivery: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/#do-yourself-links-resources Nice. |
