Does anyone know which relay (inside the IRCM) controls the fuel pump?? I want to replace the bad ones .... I have 4 IRCM with dead fuel control relays.

Thanks,

Carl

On my website , I have a link to a Nato members site that contains the 87-88 TC wiring. It shows the wire colors and location which should make it easy.

Good question, Carl! Dont know the answer, but if you take the IRCM apart and follow the line on the printed circuit board from the connector terminal that had the black/pink fuel pump power out wire on it, that trace will end at one of the 4 terminals of the fuel pump relay.

If you are blowing FP relays, I wonder if your pump is sick, and drawing too much current. Might want to check the pump current to see if it is excessive. I dont know what the stock current draw is, but I would guess under 10 amps. If draw is way high, your pump may be on its way out. THose relays in the IRCM are pretty rugged 40A relays, and shouldnt give you that much trouble.

Thanks guys. I'll be replacing the fuel pump, although, it still sounds normal. I think since the I have to drop the tank, I'll go with the 255lph fuel pump and check the wiring for shorts.
