Hi guys and gals,
my 850 has let me down! :shock:
It will start and run fine for the first 3 or 4 seconds then stops. The fuel pump pressurises fine when ignition is first turned on. All the lights on the dash go out too so there is no obvious fault. Have accessed the tank via the boot (trunk for you yanks) pannels but can only locate wires for the guage sender unit.
Was going to hot wire the pump to see if it was failing to restart on ignition but cant seem to figure our which wires? HELP.(I use this to tow a trailer for my property maintenance business so I need it going again by monday if possible!!!) :|

Saw a you tube post on bypassing the relay. Did that and it runs fine. Need a new relay now....

Fuel pump relay? Recent thread with pictures under 1Wagon.

Let us know if it solves it so we can close thread.
