Fuel pump running

[vrinner]

So this only seems to happen when my battery is low...

Turn key on
Fuel pump start but then stops (normal)
Start the car
Car runs fine
Turn car off
Fuel pump continues to run
Take key out of ignition switch
Fuel pump continues to run
Disconnect battery
Fuel pump shuts off
Connect battery
Fuel pump continues to run
Disconnect battery
Charge battery
Connect battery
Fuel pump does NOT run
Car starts fine
Turn off car
No fuel pump running

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Um .. the blinker fluid? j/k

I had that happen on my old 91 5.0 - turned out to bet the relay under the driver's seat was sticking. Or so that's what I think it was as far I can remember .. it's been 10 freakin years ago.

Yep, had it happen to me as well. Get a new relay under the seat as Bud said.

Dont be alarmed when you go to get a new one, the new one will have 1-too many "prongs"...its ok, it will work.

best bet would be to get 2 as i have had bad ones straight from the parts store.

Relay

Hmmm...

Just put in my Cobra race seat. I dont remember there being a relay under there. Is it attached to something or maybe I just disconnected it?

Look under the carpet, sometimes they snake back down there. ANd be careful, they are frigile, and if they get knocked around, they are useless

Ummm

No carpet either

I'll look for the wireing

It's bright green and black and not that small that you could miss it ... you might want to slow on the Killian's comsumption during wrench turning hours.
