davev 1 Posted December 16, 2006 (edited) just a quick question. while robbing a fuel pump relay off my track car for a mate, i noticed that one of the wires had split and just wondered what its for. because from as far as i know the car worked ok while it was broken. i crimped a connector on but the battery is dead so i cant find out what difference it makes. only way i can describe it is its no 31 on the relay, thin white wire, and if that dont help then imagine the relay pins looking at you.it would be the bottom right. best i can draw from the top of my head. _ l _ l l l l cheers. dave. cant get the lines to stay spaced out. so abit of imagining required Edited December 16, 2006 by davev Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davev 1 Posted December 17, 2006 so would that couse runing issues? as im sure it was running ok without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted December 17, 2006 The wires to the tachy relay aren't split near the plug at all. Unless someone cut into it when fitting an alarm or immobiliser previously. On the loom I have out of my car there isn't a single thin white wire, all the white wires are quite thick. There is a thin yellow wire (#32A) which is the ignition switched feed that closes the relay, I think with this missing or cut I don't think the car would run. Graham.

davev 1 Posted December 17, 2006 i meant split as in broken in two. and the only reason i called it thin was because im sure i saw a thicker white wire going to the relay(could be wrong though). does any one know what no31 on the relay or bottom right corner on the diy pic i posted is for? cheers.dave.

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted December 17, 2006 what picture did you post up before ? best i can draw from the top of my head. _ l _ l l l l I think thats the pic dave means. does any one know what no31 on the relay or bottom right corner on the diy pic i posted is for?The tachy relay doesn't have any wire #31 going to it. The wire going to the pin 31 on the relay case is actually wire #M32, an earth wire which on the loom I have here is green with a yellow stripe. Graham.

davev 1 Posted December 19, 2006 ah. cheers pugtorque. thats a quality pic. the wire thats broken is no31 on the relay spot on. in the other pic it would be the top left hand corner on this car the wire going to it is befinatly white though (its a phase 1 if it matters, relay ocated by the headlight) when i get the battery charged i will see how it runs with and without it. dave.

pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted December 22, 2006 If it doesn't run without it try bridging from that terminal to the chassis & see if that fixes it. If it does you just need to wire an earth in. (I think you'll need it). Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
