I need a positive on this relay.. can you insert the relay with the cover off it, check that you can see the contacts actually close as it get power and check that you can make the fan stop by pulling the contacts open. Then we'll know that the relay is getting energised from somewhere and not just stuck closed.
There are 3 relays running the different fan speeds, which one are you removing to stop the fan? Is it J26, the one in position 3? If so then this would appear to be operated by J155 in position 14. I think it probably is this one as the other 2 get their power from the Otter switch.
I havent read this entire thread as i really havent got the time, but ive had a similar problem with my ABY coupe a while ago, turned out to be caused by water in the passenger footwell had got into the wiring loom and corroded the wire that feeds power to the fuel pump, there was 12.5+ volts at the fuel pump terminal but obviously not enough current to actually power the pump, might be worth checking the wiring in the passenger footwell if its ever been wet down there... its a green wire from memory
Situation is as such.. All belts changed, both rads changed.. Drove out of garage car died (a big 'I told you so' from s2tornado-granted lol) ok so I removed fuel pump, got a new one from Gsf for about 50pounds car drove for 20 miles stopped in traffic and it died again!- won't start back at square 1. Didn't have many tools but managed to Strip fuel tank and the fuel was really warm! Im hoping that this was a duff part from Gsf?!
A friend of mine had a similar problem a couple years ago and the new fuel pump lasted a few days!
As always your thoughts and ideas would be most appreciated!
New relay, fuel pump tested all ok, still won't start!
I'm thinking fuel filter next when I did have it running it seemed hesistant getting to boost at around 3k then it would clear up then get a little hesitant..
Dismantled the fuel return not knowing it's a return hence no fuel comes out of it duuh
Any ideas where the fuel filter is located, checked fuel lines it's all coming through it's all getting confusing now as to what the problem can be..
Any thoughts ideas as always would be most appreciated..
Cheers James, you have been an absolute pleasure to deal with, I'm going to get the fan relays back to you mine turned out to be ok I think it could be the other brown relay 324 I told you about?!
As for the car, it got going.. changed all the belts pulleys etc in the same excitement only for it to give up on me.. Again.. Gutted
No worries mate, the 324 is after run pump, suppose its worth a try but I really can't see a connection with that myself. I certainly don't mind lending you one off the Avant though.
I'll text you my address to send the other bits back.
