Typical...... the sunny weather arrives and my car decides to throw a strop, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
The car had a new fuel pump fitted a couple of months ago and has been running faultlessly. Last night the usual buzz from the fuel pump didn't happen when I switched the ignition on and the car wouldn't start.
Checked the fuse (no 14 I believe) which is fine and then checked the connections at the fuel pump with a munti meter and I've got no power at the pump. This leads me to think it might be the relay....however I can't locate it. I have googled looking for diagrams, but the 1973 photograph available is not similar to my car.
When I look at my fuse box I have three silver relays slightly above the fuse box and that's all I can see. All three relays are identical so I have swapped them around but this has made no difference - so can anyone help me with the location of the fuel pump relay??
Thanks in advance
