I just had a new fuel pump and flange installed on my car. Now the shop is saying there is a break in the fuel pump relay circuit, which WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. Does anyone know where on a 2001 jaguar xj 308 a break in the fuel pump relay circuit is most likely to occur. This wasn't an issue before I brought it into there shop. Could it be as simple as a fuse or relay, or could they have damaged it during the repair process, only to add it to my bill. What do yall think??

 

I'm not a real expert on these matters but this discussion at the bottom of today's message might be helpful: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-relay-295856/

 

Notice how the fuse is after the relay

Notice the secret fuse in the left heelboard fuse box # 10

This fuse may have to have the ignition positive # 2 close to power the fuse

This relay can be seen on page 39 and 41 as the 2 circle double hash electrical point

Your fuel pump control is Y electrical point

 

I would suspect that the break is along the line that runs from the fuel tank to fuse and relay box: said another way, the shop needs to redo their work (at their expense).

 

Somewhere along the way something not correct on above post , will have to revisit

 

Huh? What are you saying, Parker? I think the shop broke an electrical line to the fuel pump on either removing the tank and fuel pump or on reinstalling same . . . it is possible that they also blew the relay and/or fuse in the process. The shop needs to check their work -- not impossible that something other than the fuel pump going bad, now fixed, surfaced after the repair, but doubtful: just not a fan of coincidence (maybe cuz I have fat fingers with arthritis, prone to errors). They broke a line and need to run continuity checks across the circuit, ne? Or bridge it.

 

Thanks! This was my reaction as well when they tried to add to my invoice a problem I NEVER had before going to there shop. Too money hungry and greedy to ADMIT there fault and double check or repair their faulty wiring.

 

Hopefully, it is just a blown fuse or relay that needs to be replaced.

 

Will have to retrace my thoughts on the dialysis chair in the morning , lacking internet now
