Re: intank pump relay

Behind the back seat, under the carpet on the vertical part. Gray wire is pump power.

Re: intank pump relay

ok, i found 3 wires coming from the fuel tank.

a black one that is grounded below the back seat.
a pink one that im assuming is power
a tan one that might be to the fuel gauge?

would that make sence for a float style fuel gauge?

also would it be possible to rewire this without the relay? i was thinking of connecting the power to the fuse box.

Re: intank pump relay

I guess they changed the wire colors at some point. Ive got a gray for power, black for ground, and purple for the sender. You can wire it up to one of those relays you have, all you need is a relay that has a constant, ground, 12v out and trigger.

Re: intank pump relay

I used the IGN wire in the engine bay for mine, but yea, and switched 12v will work as the trigger.
