How To Wire Up A Relay For A Fuel Pump

Fuel pumps are an essential part of any car’s engine, and knowing how to wire up a relay for fuel pump is key to keeping any vehicle running smoothly. Relays are used to power the fuel pump by redirecting electrical current from the battery, through the relay, and to the pump. Wiring up the relay properly can be a daunting task, but with these simple steps, you can have it done in no time.

The first step is to identify which wires go to the fuel pump – typically the green and yellow. Then it’s time to connect the relay’s power source. Most relays have two power wires, one of which is the trigger wire. This is connected to a constant source of power, like the battery or the fuse box. Once this is connected, it’s time to hook up the ground. This should be connected to a metal ground like the core support or the engine block.

Once the wiring is connected, you need to make sure that the relay is functioning properly. The best way to do this is to test it with a multimeter. With the power on, you should be able to see a voltage reading between the two power wires and the ground. If there is an issue, it's a good idea to check the wiring and make sure it's properly connected. Once everything checks out, you’re ready to fire up your fuel pump! With the proper wiring and the right relay, you can easily keep your car running smoothly.
