Fuel Pump Relay
1996 Ford RV Cutaway 5.8 HSECTION Fuel Pump Relay
NOTE:
To identify fuel pump relay terminals, refer to numbers molded on relay. Two different numbered relays are used. Fuel pump relay terminals may be numbered 1-5 or terminals may be numbered 30, 85, 86, 87 and 87A. On relays that are numbered 1-5; terminals for relay coil are terminals No. 1 and 2. On relays that are numbered 30, 85, 86, 87 and 87A; terminals for relay coil are terminals No. 85 and 86.
- Turn ignition off. On fuel pump relays that terminals are numbered 1-5, measure resistance between relay terminal No. 1 and all other relay terminals. Resistance should be 40-120 ohms between terminals No. 1 and 2 and more than 10 k/ohms between terminal No. 1 and other relay terminals.
- On fuel pump relays that terminals are numbered 30, 85, 86, 87 and 87A, measure resistance between relay terminal No. 85 and all other relay terminals. Resistance should be 40-120 ohms between terminals No. 85 and 86 and more than 10 k/ohms between terminal No. 85 and other relay terminals. On both relays, if resistance is not as specified replace relay. If resistance is okay, see TEST KA under CIRCUIT TESTS in appropriate G - TESTS W/CODES article for additional fuel pump circuit testing procedures.
