    fuel pump relay 3b

    Hi all, I've searched the forums to find my answer but no luck, so wheres the fuel pump relay on my 3b..??
    I've joined the ranks of the car won't start crew, I replaced my boost hoses over the weekend great job went reasonably well finished replacing hoses started up to move car off the ramps to refix the bumper, reved her up abit then she backfired and engine cutout and now won't start! engine turns over , there appears to be no spark at the plugs and looks like no fuel as plug was bone dry when I took one out. I've checked fuses in the underbonnet fusebox had a look under the drivers dash area.. so back to my original question where is the fuel pump relay located?
    If anyone has any fix it ideas ie check this do that ect please feel free ha ha..looks like I may have to make a phone call to my mechanic....ok bfn a grounded Condor

    Fuel pump relay is in the main fuse box (under the bonnet)
    It's on the front row of relays, about four in from the left. It should tell you on the fuse box lid.
    Is it a coincedence that something is up after just having the front in bits to replace hoses? Not sure what could have been disturbed, but that'd be my first thought.

      It's in the fusebox AFAIK, it certainly is on the ABY

        Hi Jas, thanks for your reply,(and Jamo too) I think it could be a coincedence that this has happened now, the won't start that is, I don't think I've distrubed anything else while replacing the hoses, I've had a really good look around again this morning but everything looks ok, the relay which I've now found (thanks guys) is clicking I took it out and removed the cover for inspection it looks ok, I read here somewhere about a crank sensor could be that? a duff wgf valve wouldn't cause car not to start would it I'll have to get my mechanic out as I've done what I can.
        I was quite pleased the way the samco hose replacement went thanks partly to all the info on here I knew somewhat what to expect, anywho I'll let you know what the problem turns out to be...bfn Condor...

          crank sensor
          That old chestnut Mines still giving that code and not starting..... Might be worth checking your earth connections and checking for a spark.
