okay, I've got the box upside down and open now, looking at the wire colors underneath. Assuming that there'* no serious electrical acrobatics going on between the underside and the topside of the fuse box, the two red circles I've drawn on these pictures should be pretty well lined up. I *am* seeing a green wire with a white tracer nearby, but it doesn't connect particularly close to the fuel pump relay. The closest 4 are two greys, a brown, and a pink.
Yes, we're looking for the ECM signal wire going to the fuel pump relay. I think the green wire with a white tracer is not correct, because I get infinite resistance between the wire and the pin slot. Even with a bad connection I should be seeing something.
so, looking at the underside of the fuse box, having a lot of trouble getting the 3 big connectors off so I can inspect the underside, this is one difficult problem. I loosened the bolts, and it feels like they're out now, but the connectors aren't moving without a fight. I can rock one of the connectors back and forth, but I can't free it, I'm afraid I'll break the wires if I pull any harder. anybody here know what'* going on?
okay, I'm a little upset now, I put the car back together to go out and get some gas, now I have 3 more electrical problems... the gas and coolant temp gauges aren't working, and my automatic headlights aren't working... now manual headlights I can handle, but no temp or fuel gauge? that'* a problem.
