strange wire from fuel pump

[kydude7]

Can anyone tell me why theres a red wire running from my fuel pump to what looks to be the ingition wire under the dash?? Did the relay go bad and somebody just wired it to the key??

As long as the wire is protected and properly fused

And he's worried about whether 20" wheels will fit. With this and the other probs he has the car just may turn into a fire ball.

Rims are last thing on my mind now! Your right about the fire ball, but chances are im gonna be the one to start the fire!


There is no fuse on the wire. what size you thinkwould be best??

The best thing to do is find out why it is there, and fix the problem instead of just rigging it to work. If you need a wiring schematic or the trouble shooting for the fuel pump I'm sure some one on here has them for a Gen3, they could "loan" you. I would but only have a Gen4 FSM.

True true. I figure the relay must be bad and is probally pretty cheap to replace. so i guess I'll unhook the wire and put a new relay in it and see what happens.

I would have never hot wired it to begin with! I bealive if your gonna do something do it the right way!
