Went to start my car tonight and ther was no noise coming from the fuel pump and it wouln't start,so i tried the fuel relay in Series1 dry's car and it was the same,nothing,so i'd say its fooked

Can you still buy them new?

Item no V85 AB 9P7 04 BA

 

Don't assume!

Try the fooking fuse first

 

make sure thats what it is first as said but you can still get them,
i got one from my local ford dealer last year, about Ł45 if i remember rightly,

 

i checked them first,

The relay won't work on my car so tried it on Dry's car,which is running fine,and my relay is not working on his car...

So i'd say 99.9% the relay IS past it

 

SafeChav, are any of these relays useable on an escort with mfi?

s 1 ste, whip the relay out then and have a probe to see if you've lost any feeds to it or anything,

if its the relay i can almost guarantee its repairable!

vroooom ptssssh not that i can see but to be honest it doesnt give much specific information about them

Will do mate,nowt to loose if its goosed

The car's been parked in the garage since november last year,took it out the other week no prob's,wanted to move it tonight and nowt ...

Glad it happened now and not when i was away from home.

Cheers for ya advice SafeChav

 

Keep us posted on it, i doubt theres much wrong!

Which fuse did you check just out of interest?

 

Ididn't know which 1 it was, so i pulled each 1 out and checked,none of them had blown tho'

 

i'd check again cos ive had fuses which look fine at a glance but have had hair line fractures in them!

Its Fuse R1, theres only 2 fuses in the fusebox on there own, one is 15A, the other is 25A and its that one you want

 

i'll have a look tomorrow mate,thanks for that

 

You need a 5 pin tachometric relay. I bought one from Ford a few years ago for Ł8. I would do some volt drops first to confirm what is wrong though as it could be a fuse or wiring issue.

 

I doubt it is a fuse Steve cos mine won't start with your relay in it. I'm in town tomorrow if you want me to check at Pye Motors if they still do them

 

Sound Dry,
Been told it's still available from Ford ,item no 1630562, Ł35 + VAT,

 

Or just open it and resolder the broken joints...

 

Ahhhhhhhhh i didnt realise that

they say great minds think alike

 

 

Its not en easy job but someone has to do it eh

 

Had a look in side the relay all LOOKS fine,can't see any breaks in the solder/wires,but where do you start

 

Multimeter perhaps?

 

I'll send it on to you SafeChav, you seem to know what your onabout i'm a bit with electrics

 

Ask dry hes a sparky isnt he

zzzzz zzzzzz
