Fuel Pump Relay?


ReattaTType

Recommended Posts

I have been having a problem with my Reatta since about last October, the fuel pump fuse repeatedly blows. It first happened in 2010 but turned out it was a short of a wire hitting my cold air intake. Last year however it would happen, I would drive a bit and then it would blow again. Putting a new fuse and limping it home worked, however, it finally gave out right in my neighborhood and I rolled the car down the road home. A few weeks after that, I was able to start the car and run it, move it around, however, it blew at the bottom of my driveway. Made it back up into the garage and the car hasn't started since. Turning the key to run blows the fuse instantly, even a 30 amp. I have checked for any shorts in the system in the engine bay found nothing.

Now I have gone to check the fuel pump relay to see if it is bad. However, I have read 3 different relay/fuse diagrams now. The back of my relay cover door shows no fuel pump relay or fuel pump fuse. My owners manual shows a fuel pump relay where the courtesy light relay is, and another diagram for 88s shows that there is a fuse, however mine just has two headlamp fuses, mirrors, and defog. Is there something I am missing or were things printed wrong on 88s?

I am just wondering if I can get any opinions on what to check next. Ignition 1 fuse is fine, am I missing a relay? I still have yet to check the wiring at the pump or oil pressure switch.

Thanks, David

Also, this is the Reatta with the supercharged swap and OBD2 conversion, however, everything else seems to be working and reading fine.

The relay cover door is correct. The photo below will show the fuel pump relay location on your '88.
