Re: Walbro blows fuse 14
spent some time searching and found this in forced induction sticky this is an ef problem i guess, but can anybody help explain this i dont really understan waht he means buy fuel pump hot, and fuel pump on hot?
also where do i get a relay?
What size relay?
Thanks Guys
Wiring:
1. OK, so the new pump is going to draw some serious amps. You will need to wire a bigger gauge to the pump
and use a relay or you will smoke your main relay.
2. Extend the pump-on hot wire from the harness that used to go to the pump and the two wires from the pump.
Leave the ground connected to the top of the pump assembly.
3. Drill a hole in the body so you can work in the back of the hatch. I drilled just to the driver's side of the two
screw mounts for the vertical divider.
4. Run the pump hot and the pump-on hot through the hole (with a bushing or other anti-chafing method).
Attach a ring terminal to the pump ground and bolt to the frame after sanding the terminal junction.
5. Mount a 30A relay close to the hole. I found there is a gap between the compartment and the vertical
divider that a relay will fit in fine.
6. Put the pump hot on one side of the contacts and the pump-on hot on one side of the coil. Ground the other
side of the coil with a nearby bolt.
7. Run a fused hot from the battery to the other side of the contact. Use a nice 10Ga. Wire and a 30A fuse. The
fuse should be within 7 inches of the battery and sealed from the environment.
