[W126 Coupe] W126 electrical/fuel issue

[Terry Ratliff]

Corky - Here is a link that shows the fuel pump relay. The red arrow points
to the fan blower fuse. The fuel pump relay is at the other end of the red
arrow.

Hey Dick,

It may sound really dumb, but I have a 500sec that I think the relay is
gone. But being as I am new to the Mercedes car culture, I don't know where
the fuel pump relay is. Could you give me a place to look.

ditto Jonathan's remarks..fuel pump relay should be first item to go if you
have a spare you can swap.  Leave the rest alone until proper diagnostics
have been performed.

Regards,
Dick

Hello Folks just wanted to ask a question regarding my 1984 380 SEC
euro/gray. I was given this beautiful machine by my dad, he had parked the
car for 1.5-2 years without driving/starting it. I drained the tank and the
tank screen was clear of any dirt or foreign material also a new sender for
the fuel guage. New Bosch spark plugs, cap, rotor button, & wires all
replaced. The reason I am emailing into the group basically the 380 runs and
drives great then when running at normal operating temp, the engine just
stops and the amber light on the fuel guage comes on. After waiting for
five-ten minutes the engine starts right up. I have asked several shops that
have worked on my car, they said that they will just have to start from the
back and head toward the front. I have ordered a new Bosch fuel pump, new
iginiton unit. Checked the fuel relay did not have any wires loose, any help
would be greatly appreciated. Cecil Elliott
