He basically said cut the white and green wire. Use the end out of the socket to feed the yellow wire of the relay. the other yellow wire to ground. Then jump fuse 46 connect that to the red wire of the relay and the blue wire of the relay to the white and green end of the wire that y cut and goes to the pump. So when there is current to the out of the socket the relay closes and send the voltage from 46 to the pump. U can just use an external switch to turn the pump on from fuse 46??
I have a Mini Cooper 1.6 D 2012 no power the the fuel pump so it’s not stating I checked fuse 46 with is the fuel pump fuse it was blown but every time I replace it it blows straight away when in try start would issue your mentioning be causing this problem? Thanks
So if there zero voltage going out of the socket white/green wire and u connect a relay there how would the relay become activated? The logic of a relay is ti use a small voltage to activate the electro magnetic contact and establish connection between fuse 46 and the outgoing white and green wire that goes to the gas pump. I will stay open all the time wouldn't??

Hello, i tried it yesterday but after driving around 30km I got following error codes: P0001 "fuel volume regulator circuit / open" and P0003 "fuel volume regulator control circuit low" and besides of that the half yellow engine warning sign is on. Did anybody has this problem too? How can I fix that? Besides of that the car is starting again and running pretty good. So the relay is working how it should be.
I never had that problem. Still runs to this day. Just make sure you use yellow connector because there is alot of amp draw. It will burn up the wire if you use ble or red.
Thanks for your quick response. Originally the DME activates the spool of the relais. Right? Wouldnt it be possible to take the input cable of the DME (PIN 17, green/purple cable, Plus X11008) instead of a normal ground from a screw which goes into the metal of the car? I think the DME signals ground to the pin 85 of the Relais K96 and Plus is coming from the Relais I01068. Then it would be like original. Pin 87 fuel pump white/blue cable Pin 30 plus from fuse 46 Pin 86 signal plus from cigarette lighter Pin 85 ground from dme cable green/purple Does that make sense? Do you know what I mean. In this case the fuel relay gets activated directly from the dme. So the fuel pump wont always run when the key is in and the ignition is on.
@@marcp6778 If the relay green and white wire goes bad on the board. The pump will not work. You will get codes. The video I have where I use the light for on and off signal is your next fixing the fuel pump issue. And yes the relay hook up is right .
I'm having the same issue thank you for the explanation I think I'm gonna look first at the junk if I can find one and replace..
Mannn thank you !!!! You the man took me days of research
Your welcome.
Do you have any step by step instructions on this external relay install I'm having the same issue

Do you have any part numbers?
I just Remember getting It on Amazon 5 pin relay with harness. Have a great day.

Sound like bad pump.

Watch the video 50 times then you should get it. Let me know when you get it.
This is really sad! MINI SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE FUSE BLOCK AND REPLACE IT FOR FREE THIS WAS A BAD ENGINEERING.
