Trying to figure out why my fuel pump is not getting any power and determined the power for the pump comes directly off the coil. The voltage leaving the relay panel is ~12V, but coming into the coil is only about 2-3V - that is with the wire disconnected - with it connected to the coil it is only ~.3V. Is this right? How do I determine if the coil is bad? How much for a new one?

QUOTE(lapuwali @ Oct 3 2005, 11:38 AM) (which, SirAndy notwithstanding, is a common practice) so, does that make it right then? i mean, if it's "common practice" and all. i'm not sure running the fuel pump directly off the coil is a good idea, regardless if it's "common practice" or not. you're not only eliminating the relay but also the fuse from the pump circuit and IMHO that can't be good ... but what do i know ...
