TIPM Fuel Relay Test and Bypass Solutions - Most 2007-2021 Dodge, Chrysler, Ram, Jeep, VW Vehicles
Visit verticalvisions.com to build your own, order from us, or obtain additional details. We do not sell these on Amazon. If your 2007-2021 Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, or VW vehicle fails to start due to a bad fuel pump relay on the TIPM (fuse box), or your fuel pump continues pumping after turning the vehicle off (draining your battery), this tutorial along with our free website instructions may provide a solution. You'll be able to build your own cable to test your fuel pump, fuel pump relay, and bypass a defective fuel pump relay. We also build these cables and other patented longer term solutions for those who can't.
Applicable to (as tested by us or reported by others):
2008-2016 Chrysler Town and Country
2011-2019 Dodge Durango
2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan
2009-2010 Dodge Journey
2007-2011 Dodge Nitro
2011-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
2007-2012 Jeep Liberty
2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler
2011-2021 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500
2012-2014 Ram C/V
2009-2014 VW Routan
2011 VW Touareg
*Other vehicles apply, but have not been tested/confirmed yet.
As many have discovered, the failure of a simple $5 fuel pump relay has affected many vehicles and recalls have been issued. Additional TIPM repair options are available on our website. For further information, please visit our website: www.verticalvisions.com. Please make sure you understand the capabilities, advantages, and limitations of these cables. Note that we now use a new M37 to M25 connection method for most TIPMs.

    Hi sir. Quick question. With this by pass it is this a permenent or temporary? Can you actually replace the relay so you don’t have to by pass?

    Hi quick question. Fuel pump only runs at the time you start the vihecle and shut off while the vehicle is running right? When you said if you fuel pump keeps running while the car is off. That is noticeable right, because they will making the sound or hum? Can you replace the fuel pump relay and will solve the relay issue so you don’y have to by pass it or is it the relay slot on the tipm is the problem that is why you have to by pass? I have a stalling problem. But i know its not my relay or my fuel pump. Because i hear the pump turns on when i start the vehicle.

    • @VerticalVisions

      All of our parts either closely match or exactly match the OEM configuration for power to the fuel pump in the different key positions. TIPM bypass cables have never been considered long term solutions as we see edge case issues in warmer weather (the cables can melt). Yes, you can usually hear your fuel pump if you're in a quiet environment. Yes you can replace the actual faulty fuel pump relay, but we use a microscope and you'll need to solder/desolder parts on a circuit board. I would recommend you jump over to VerticalVisions.com where there is a great deal of information on this issue that is more current.

    Just had to do this to my 2011 dodge ram, it had been a mystery for a couple days and every mechanic was stumped. It would just crank no start, the only way I could get it running was jumping the battery (new battery) the fuel pump relay is the issue

    • @VerticalVisions
      @VerticalVisions 17 днів тому

      The science behind this is fuel pump relays work better at higher voltages. Starting your vehicle means you're using battery voltage only at 12.0-12.5 VDC. If you are jump starting using a new battery or another vehicle, you're applying a higher voltage and an intermittently faulty relay will usually have a better chance of switching properly to allow power to flow to the fuel pump. 2011 Ram trucks are our #2 worst for fuel pump relay issues.

    Symptoms point to bad relay. Shop said the same (although I don't trust their expertise). "Canadian Tire" is not very reliable. I did try a bypass, but it didn't work. (Only had access to 15A, not 20A though). Thoughts? I'm in Canada...not sure if you ship here.

  • @gregnickolson5070
    @gregnickolson5070 19 днів тому

    I bought and installed this jumper and it didn't make any difference. After removing the bypass jumper and putting the fuses back in as normal I noticed the voltage at M25 (both sides of the fuse) when cranking was only about 10.5 volts. Is this normal or what would it indicate? The battery voltage was up to 13.46 volts so that wasn't the problem.

    • @VerticalVisions
      @VerticalVisions 17 днів тому

      If you bought your cable from us, please visit VerticalVisions.com and send us an email. We're happy to support our customers. Otherwise, 10.5 VDC during engine cranking would be on the low end. Normal battery voltage is 12.0-12.7 VDC, but during engine cranking the starter load can reduce battery voltage slightly. The 13.46 battery voltage seems quite high unless you're measuring while the vehicle is running (alternator supplying voltage). If you still can't start with a CONSTANT 10.5 VDC on M25 during engine cranking, then the relay might be faulty in that it will not switch at that voltage. I would also suggest a fuel pump test using the cable (we provide detailed instructions with our parts on how to do this), if you can't start using a properly connected TIPM cable. We no longer use the M7 to M25 connection method, but our written instructions will show you the new connection method that might also be your solution.

    • @VerticalVisions
      @VerticalVisions Місяць тому

      Pefrorm a fuel pump test using the wire and listen for the pump operating when the vehicle is off. If the pump won't turn on, it could be a rusted fuel pump ground wire or damaged fuel pump connector near the tank. Of course, there are dozens of other things that can cause a vehicle no start situation. Fuel and spark are the most critical.

Sometimes it doesnt wanna start, i just tap the fuse and it starts right up, usually for months, then again it comes back, tap again and it starts….would this be a good idea to install? Wondering how long my tapping solution will work for…also, are these fuses same numbers for a 2017? Seems like a lot of this is for a 2013 model. And yes, i replaced the fuse, and it still happens, actually wapped the fuse with horn fuse, horn works fine still…thanks in advance

      Fans are a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal where the power is turned on and off very fast over time, often via a MOSFET. I don't believe you can easily bypass this easily.

    I bought the bypass cable to just keep for myself as a fast test tool. I also purchased the Relay System Lite for the 2013 Durango last week that I was troubleshooting the crank no start problem and found out the fuel pump wasn't turning on. I checked it with my multimeter and had no voltage at my power output coming out of my fuel pump relay. I used my own bypass wire and no problem firing up the Durango. So I knew it was the relay that gave out. Here in Hawaii the auto parts stores don't have a 20 amp add a fuse, only 10 amps with thin gauge wire. I know people make their own but I found out it's easier to just go online to this website and order one, at least with my own wire I could move the SUV around here in my gauge if I needed to. Then I decided to go with the Relay System Lite since it seems to me as a better option than a bypass cable but I wanted a cable to use as a fast tester. No problem with the Relay System Lite. Just pull your 20 amp and 10 amp fuses and put them into the Relay System Lite circuit board and plug the board where the 2 fuses were and that's it. The owner of this Durango did call the local Dodge dealership and they told her they would call her when they get a relay kit in for the recall and call her up for an appointment. I told her don't hold her breath. I told her I could easily install my own external relay for her but I told her it would void the recall if I did it. So for now, this is the solution I find is the way to go. Chrysler doesn't seem to care that their customers have jobs and they need their vehicles to get them to work and other places, can't wait around until they call.
