I wouldn't change those unless you have a fuel leak from a bad o-ring or
injector knock at idle, they are a real pain. They leak if they are either too
loose or too tight, and the body of the pump is aluminum, too tight and you can
damage it.

They are easy to bench-test using a standard current-limited lab power supply.
Set the current limit to less than the fuse value, and start raising the

At the trip point it'll short out and the voltage will drop to zero. Passed.

These are a classic crowbar overvoltage protector. The voltage, if over

Besides cleaning contacts, replacing the cartridge fuse, and generally handling
it,
these things are prone to bad solder joints inside. They are VERY simple
inside.
Just open it and resolder, if you know how to do such things. You'll need a
heavier
soldering iron, not one suited for IC's and
So I should replace the fuse on top? The problem still comes and goes but
mostly comes. I will remove, clean contacts and re-install as well.

Was that a strip fuse, Kleb? I can’t recall.

Who knows. Odo still not working. I’m guessing 400K though.
BTW, 3 weeks ago after hitting a pothole a bunch of times - same one (shit
state of Massachusetts) I hear a bad noise when turning into driveway, and
front wheel collapses into wheel well. Lower ball joint sheared off! Just got
it
Thank you!

Behind the battery, red cover with a fuse on top. Not related to voltage

Where is this relay? Is it related to voltage regulator?

CHANGE your FUSES.
Kidding aside, with the variety of affected systems, sounds to me like it could
be a general low voltage symptom. Check battery, alternator, grounding points,
etc.

Looks at least as nice as the one I posted earlier today, at a slightly more
sane (still high) price.

Great way to keep things going in the right
direction. My son in law is going through this
very thing right now. He has lost almost all of
his toes and part of the foot but is hopeful that
that will solve the problem. Keep up the good
thoughts man.

Crazy price. Maybe $5k on a great day.

Agreed. The “Best Offer” thing is actually pretty nice, as you can plug in
different amounts and get feedback on whether or not it’s likely to be
accepted. I’ve done this a fair amount of time with used auto parts.
