pjc615ukuk Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) I've not started the car for a couple of months, but due to the change in the weather I decided to give it a run today. Flat battery to start with which was rectified with a spare battery. Bosch fuel pump sounded good initially, and nothing appeared untoward. However, after cranking it half a dozen times without success I then realised that said pump was no longer working - arrrggghhh! I'm a complete novice when it comes to anything mechanical & electrical so haven't a clue where to start looking. Could it be a fuse? Any ideas gratefully received.

Waldi Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 It could be the fuse or the intertia switch if you have one. This is installed under the bonnet against the fire wall. Or the ignition switch. I would first check the fuse. Then, if you have a multimeter, measure if you have 12V at the pump and work backwards. And use a wiring diagram. Makes fault finding much easier. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waldi Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 No problem, this switch is a regular “customer” on this forum. Cheers, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
