hello,can anyone tell me where the fuel pump relay is located?and what colour is it?my rs died the other day and after a couple of minutes detective work i found that the fuel pump wasnt powering up.i ran a wire from the battery to the positive terminal on the pump and it worked.so i am presuming its the relay as all the relevant fuses were ok.

 

PINK relay under dash drivers side.

 

thanks for that.the haynes comic is a bit lacking in that area!

 

Did it start with just pump powered?

 

i didnt try that,i was just trying a shortcut to eliminate the fuel pump.had a look under the dash and my relay is grey,would this be a pattern part?

 

if it doesn't have a ford badge or a ford part number.....

 

I can't remember if there's more than one relay under there? Stock fuel pump relay deffo pink (I haven't had a S2 RST since 1998)

Why I asked if it started with just fuel pump powered, if there is no signal from distributor/ignition ecu, the fuel pump won't run on cranking.

 

There's a number of relays under the dash, the fuel pump relay is larger than the others a d pink/purple in colour. Never come across a grey fuel pump relay.

Not the beat picture but the one on the left

 

pump relay is on the left of the pic, just a quickie, what are the 2 black/red wires going to?

My fuel pump comes on for a split second then goes off again, can anyone tell me if this is due to a bad relay or something else?

 

With just ignition on (not cranked)? Perfectly normal, just a prime

 

Turns out it wasn't the pump giving me issues. I'm getting fuel to the metering head but not to the injectors

 

Did you find out what the problem was?
