So the jumper is the solution. LnL Sounds like an "improvement"
that does not work so well to me. I like my Diesels.

The old Saabs used to have a timer in the pump relay, ran for about 5 seconds
IIRC. My 190e does something similar, and I think i

No idea. It measured open circuit from the relay's pump terminal to ground, so I
think it might have a bad motor winding or brush.
Used ones run $35-60 on eBay.

What I did after finding out that I had power at the fuel pump relay and that
jumpering the relay socket did not get me any fuel pressure under the hood:
I bought a used "e320" fuel pump on eBay.
When it got here last week, I crawled under to R&R it and found the old pump

I think that is a good choice. I bought a used fuel pump for the 380
and it turned out ok for at least 5 yrs. ...so far, so good.
Good luck! I hope that solves the problem. I hope you get a break
in the weather to change

Thanks, I bought an OE pump with bracket for $31.50.
Hopefully it doesn't have as many miles on it as the one that came with my car.

Big Blue is sitting on my Landgrebe dolly in my driveway, with a battery charger
on an extension cord.

Tows like a dream, at least at 30mph.
It's nice not to have to wonder if the dolly fenders will steer into the car's

I have voltage at one terminal of the fuel pump relay under the back seat

I have 0.6V from ground to the relay terminal that's switched by the
