Re: Fuel pump relay

[Night Shadow <soltwede@ucsub.Colorado.EDU>]

I had to do a secondary relay as well...turned out to be a fuse box/wiring
problem....now I have it set up that the main fuel pump lead out of the
fuse box is the trigger for my secondary relay...in this way it puts no
load on that fuse box lead, but keeps the protection of the coil input...
