Again, thanks for that link for doing it through the speaker, that was awesome.
Yes, 12 volts should make them run. Do not forget to also check the continuity through the electrical filters.

There is a hidden keyhole for the trunk between the 'X' and the 'K' on the trunk 'XKR' badge.

i found how to open the trunk :-), thats sneaky with the logo

I put 12V directly to the pumps and all i got was silence, i have zero resistance through the wires on the black box thingy, so i am hoping that solves the problem. I cant thank everyone enough for the tips and advice, this forum is really amazing, just as i was told it was.

I will order some new pumps and let you all know if i was successful.

thanks again and talk soon

hi all,
i got the pumps today, got them in without too muc issue really, which was nice, cranked it and it fired up no issues.
the only thing i have left now is the restricted performance and the engine light wich both came on when i was troubleshooting the relays.
will they go off in time, or is there something else i need to reset for that?

i wanted to say thanks to everyone once again for their help, it was all spot on.

Give it a few days of use to go off. If it does not, you will need to reset it with a inexpensive OBDII code reader.

It will be a very valuable tool on a 13 year old car, so it is well worth the investment if you need it.

The light and message have gone out so all is well again. I will take your advice on the OBDII code reader, just got to find the right one.

Thanks again for all the help
