Done and done. Got it running. Thanks for all da info. This site is great and its thanks to people like you and Josh. Cheers J'

Cougar. Thanks to you I think I got it fig. out. I was checking the red/blk cable for voltage and I had 12v at the cable only when I was turning the engine. Also the only place that had CONT from connector to the relay was the blue/yellow to the black/red at the relay. If I had 12v at relay only when turnign eng. then I fig that I would have voltage at connector only when turning eng. I measured and sure enough I did. So I took out pump and hotwired it. It was bad. Just bought new one and bout to install.....keep fingas crossed. Thanks for your help as your correct wire IDs really solved this mystery for me! Thanks again man!! J'

I need to know if I have identified the correct relay. The relay I took out is the one w/ the green connector. There is a relay w/ a yellow connector below it and a brown connector above it. The brown relay is square. Reason I am asking is b/c it doesn't make sense that I have power at the relay (green), that the relay works (I wired direct to battery and check resistance at the pins that lead to the FP--it read 0 ohms), that it clicks when I put the IGN ON but that I have no power to the blue/yellow cable at the FP connector at the back. I either have a short b/w the relay and the FP or I have selected the wrong relay..... Pls help J'

Ok. I have checked all the points as u said. This is what I found. At FP connector I have 0v at the blue/yellow cable on pos 1. At the relay. I have 12v at the red cable I have 0v at the red/black cable. The interesting part is that I have 12v at the yellow cable. 0v at the purple cable. Now I guess that my cables may be in an incorrect order, but thats is the way they have always been. Also...Im getting this multiple clicking sound coming from the engine compartment. I thought it may have been my alarm (car has lojack but its not activated (doesnt work)) but it is coming from different place. Any ideas? J'

Excellent. I have power at the relay....I know that. good stuff. Now the blue yellow at the pump should have 12v. I will check that. now. Do you happen to have the data (web link) so I can have a look at other possible problems? Any diagrams will be of much help. I appreciate your help Coug!!! J'

Does anyone know what the clicking noise the poster was talking about is? I am workign w/ my fuel pump also and I seem to be getting this click noise from under hood. It seems to go away after I play around w/ some cables by the brake pedal. It comes back again later. Thanks for any help. J'

Jenn, There is no fuse for the pump. ONLY a relay. It is located under the drivers side dash. You will need to remove the cover panel and its connectors, the fuse box and possibly the cruise unit. Even then the relay is way up in there. The Haynes manual labels it as round and green, next to a brown square relay. To test it, hook up power 12v to the 1,3 pins and it should click. Also you can just hold it in hand and turn ign on. If it doesn't click then either you have no power at clip or the relay is bad. Jose'

I have a 96 Legacy Outback 2.5L. My problem is that my fuel pump is not working. I have troubleshot it and this is the information I have gathered. I have located the FP relay and it is working. According to the Haynes manual it is the round, green relay located above the fuse box under dash drivers side. The voltage at the clip is 12v so I know its getting power. It also clicks when I turn ign ON. This is where Im having issues. At the fuel pump under the floor panel in the rear hatch, I have checked for power at the fuel pump connector. It is a clip w/ 6 pins but it only has 5 connected. It looks something like this. 123 45 I have checked for power at the 1,2,3 pins and got 0v, 12v, 4.5v respectively. This is w/ the ign ON. My confusion is this. When I remove the relay I get the same readings at the FP connector pin. Am I getting the correct power to the FP? Please help anyone....I cannot leave my current location (Ocala FL) and go on holidays until I resolve this issue. Thanks J'
