Cougar Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 I have a manual for the 88 which should be close. Are you having trouble with the pump control? I'm not sure why you would want a manual control for the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 no im not having problems, its being a kill switch, so i can kill it when i park in places i dont trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 How about this for a kill circuit. If you know where the relay is for the pump control all you would have to do is put a switch in series with either of the two relay coil wires. This is a low current circuit and would not require a special switch to handle heavy current. If one wire was tied to ground I would choose that one to add the switch into. This would do what you want to do. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 According to my 88 manual the relay is in a blue socket and may be on the right side of the steering column under the dash. The coil wires are colored blue/white and blue/black. It looks like they are series in with other items so there is some extra current that they are carrying. The blue/black wire looks like it would be the best to break into. If you had a switch that could handle 10 amps that should be ok. Most micro switches can handle that amount. I doubt that it will be that much anyways. There are some other relays in the area also so don't confuse it with another one. When you first turn the key to the on position you should be able to hear the fuel pump turn on briefly. You may have to cycle the engine to hear it again. You can pull the relay you suspect is the right one and listen for the pump. If you don't hear it then you most likely got the right one.
