these relays have changed over the years, original was 5 pins and one blank. I ordered a new one once and it came with 4 pins,1 blank and 1 pin missing. It was the wrong relay. Found the correct one and no problem.

Hi all,

Need some help.

My 560 SEC decided to cut out on me at the weekend and I was stuck on quite a busy road. I found that the fuel pump wasnt running. I phone an auto electrician friend who suggested bridging terminals 30 and 87 on the fuel pump relay, I did this and it fired into life... so managed to complete my 160 mile journey home.

Now im back home and a new relay has not done the trick, still does not fire up the pump unless i bridge the pins.. So it must be something associated with the relay?...

Looking at the wiring diagrams there are various items connected the fuel relay... anyone any ideas where I should start looking?


Many Thanks & Regards
