Remove  fuel pump 
relay (arrow).

socket  terminal 
2 (whitelblue  wire) with a fused  jumper  wire. 
After  completing  tests, remove  jumper harness.

Relay  locations  may vary  Use care  when  identifying  relays 
and  making electrical  checks at 
the fuse/relay panel. See 
610 Electrical Component Locations  for additional  re- 
lay  information. 
The fuel  pump relay has  a 1.5 
md red/violet wire  at 
terminal 
6 in the relay  socket. Terminal2  has a 2.5md 
white/blue wire.  See ELE  Electrical  Wiring Diagrams 
for  additional wiring  information. 
NOTE- 
* The fuel  pump will run  as soon as  the jumper  wire Is at- 
tached. 
The jumper  wire should be 1.5 
md (14  ga.)  and include 
an  in-line fuse holder with  a 15A fuse.  To avoid 
fuse/relay 
panel damage  from repeated connecting and  disconnect- 
ing, also  include a toggle switch in  the jumper  harness. 
- If pump does not  run  with jumper  installed, fault  could be in 
fuel  pump,  fuses 
F31 or F22 1 F54, or wiring to  pump. Check 
pump,  fuses and its wiring  as described  below. 
Fuel pump electrical circuit, testing 
- The  test given below assumes  that the fuel pump  relay circuit 
is  functioning correctly  as described  earlier. Access  to the 
pump  is from  below  the rear  seat  bottom cushion. 
- Remove  rear seat  lower  cushion  by lifting  front  edge off left 
and  right  catches.
