You might want to simulate this for practice by pulling out the FPR and jumping the 2 terminals to get the pump running. It could save you a towing bill in the future!

Thanks for mentioning it. I don't recall hearing that before. How expensive are these relays? Wouldn't it be better to just replace it with a new one?
