  • How to test and replace a fuel pump relay. The principles shown here apply to most vehicles. However, it's best to check with your vehicle's repair manual for testing parameters.This specific vehicle is a '97 Nissan Maxima.
    The fuel pump relay is an electronic component found on all vehicles with an internal combustion engine. It directs current to the electric fuel pump and ensures that the part receives enough power to operate properly, but not too much as to damage it. Whenever you turn on the ignition of your vehicle, the fuel pump relay is turned on. The fuel pump relay is usually controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or the ignition.

    I really enjoyed your video. If you would do a series on how to test other electrical car parts using a multimeter I think it would be very helpful for all of us novices in UA-cam Land.

    how much resistance should you see passing through to consider good once the meter is hooked up? my relay clicks, but once I meter it also I get anywhere from 0.0ohms to .5ohms

  • @PlasmaHH
    @PlasmaHH 7 років тому +2

    Better yet to measure the actual resistance of the relay, most multimeters beep for continuity testing at a couple of Ohms, but even a couple of Ohms relay contact resistance will drop enough voltage to make whatever is behind that act up.

    Nice vid. Had this fail on a 1998 Integra, what a pain in the @$$ it was to determine as it was just stalling driving down the highway, but just put the clutch in, crank it and it would start back up no problem. Eventually, after many a stall and a few Google searches, I came a cross a forum that suggested the fuel pump relay. Replaced it and no more stalling.

    Temp fix.. If your cars interior is hot from the summer heat it can definitely effect the relay, especially if your car is old. If your car doesn't start, air your car out first and try it. It just worked for me. You can avoid car heat, by parking under a shady tree and crack the windows.

    I kept having random stalling when driving once it happened on the highway and that was little scary. I figured out it was my fuel pump relay seeing that my issue was very random car would always start okay but the engine would stall out why’ll driving and it alway took a bit too get it going again. I figured out my relay was bad it would cut the power to the fuel pump shutting it off and stalling the engine of fuel. Replaced it with a new relay so far so good. It’s odd that that relay and non of the rest are bad but I guess the fuel pump relay gets used a lot like every time you drive the car.

      @denistuohy6420 5 років тому

      relays with five pins, the fifth one goes to another thing that would be powerer, when the relay is powered the pins 3 and 4 are connected but when the relay is switched off the solenoid in the relay powers down and there is no longer a connection between 3 and 4 but now between 3 and 5, its used for things like headlights, when on dipped beam the power comes from pin 4 but when on full beam the power comes from pin 5, all controlled by the switch in the car...relays with 3 pins use one of the pins as a shared earth and the other two for the circuit
