awdonry

Thanks, so I'll cut the offending wires and solder new ones. Can I reuse the old connector? I tried looking on rockauto and they don't have the 6 pin connector.

Thanks for the input! I actually spoke to deatchwerks tech support on Friday. All the testing they told me to do I did and seems like its a pass, but the tech told me it shouldn't just stop working. I have to call them back for an RMA number since it has a 3 year warranty. But I want to rule out the electrical since of the car to make sure. I bought this to replace my OEM pump, at the time I was on a tight budget. DW200 was $130 OEM was $240 or so.

Im apologize I'm not a electrical guru, when you say high resistance, does that mean not enough power is going through the connection, thus overheating it? Do I cut the old wires and solder new wires for the ones burnt?

To be honest I'm not sure what the OEM specs are. the DW200 has Current Draw (40 psi)9 amps (13.5v)Current Draw (80 psi)12 amps (13.5v) according to the site. Does the pump draw more amps to compensate being faulty?

I have a JDM ver4 STi wagon that I fitted a deatchwerks dw200 fuel pump. This pump is appx 12-14 months old. Pump was great until last month it stopped priming so I couldn't start the car. I tapped and jiggle the connector and that seems to do the trick. So just a few days ago the car wouldn't start and I don't hear the pump priming on startup. I tried to tap and jiggle the connector like last time with no luck. I had the tow truck deliver my car to my home. I told him about my issue and he said to try and bang on the bottom of the tank. I was banging on the tank while he turned the key and the pump started to prime and the car started. Tow truck driver mentioned the motor is seizing up. The relay, rear harness (plugs 1 and 4), and the pump is getting 11 volts. I removed the pump assembly and just reconnected the plug to test it. The connection and wiring from the pump to the top connector looks clean and tight. The plugs on 1 and 4 look melted, I'm hoping this is the reason. Any idea why it would melt? Just old wiring?
