Evening folks, my neighbour has been at the door with mondeo woes. It won't start. Car was fine on Saturday so...

Checked spark by pulling no.1 lead and putting a plug in it and got a solid spark. Great.

Lifted the rear bench to access the pump,and had a listen as the ignition was turned on and of and there is no noise, buzzing or anything nor when cranking.
Pulled the plug and put a fuse/live tester in. iirc there are 4 wires the one on the far right became live when ignition is turned on and goes out after a second <Relay trying to prime pump?
When cranking over the engine the tester stays on but is a tad dim.

All the other wires showed no power.

I'm now almost certain it's the pump. Any info suggesting otherwise is very welcome.

From ECP prices are 108+vat for the good 60+vat for the poor and 12 quid from the scrappy.

So it's scrappy for me in the morning.

Question; I have to remove it myself at the breakers but want to test before i buy. I read they will prime with a 9v durracell battery (little rectangle thing) is this correct?

So, is there anything i can test before i go scrappy, do they prime with that little battery and last question is can i lift the pump out in situ or does the tank need to be dropped as it look rather tight under that seat?

Thanks in advance

Terry
