Ivan, i want to take the time to thank you for all the free knowledge you put out. Thanks to you im already the highest paid technician at my dealership. The best part is im no longer flate rate im salary! Im only 2 years into my career. Cant thank you enough.
During a collision if the fuel line is ruptured, that integral relay is turned off by the PCM when the PCM sees the crankshaft stop turning. This was mandated by the Feds so that occupants still alive don't find themselves in a growing pool of gasoline under the vehicle, that possibly might catch fire. So, an external replaceable relay ought to be grafted into the circuit. For CYA reasons.
@@davidnull5590 And what if the inertia switch was replaced ... with a jumper? Or if said switch did not pop the ball bearing out because the impact was not enough? What if you have a failing injector that could pump the fuel tank dry into the intake manifold? What if the fuel pressure regulator failed? On older vehicles, the return line could be pouring fuel all over the place, which might not occur if the pressure did not build and the injectors did not start the engine..,., pump would be off until it started. Save a few bucks and a few minutes, but the 'new designer' could be on the hook if any of that occurred due to deleting ECM control of the pump. I would add a external relay for the slight cost, and a bunch of 'what if' problems. tom
Nice and simple solutions, but i my small mind there must be a reason for Ford want to control the fuel pump. Perhaps if the SRS are activated, perhaps in a frontcollision. Then the fuel are cut off. Just to prevent BBQ of the driver and passengers.😊😊 If this is the case I would have put in a external relay. 12 volt relay with 40 amp contact are cheap.
Beautiful solution... Ford should have designed that originally... I've been binge watching your GM playlist for a few days... Holy cow, what a lot of content... Hours and hours and I'm not even halfway through... Priceless info you put out there, and its appreciated... Regards
I was just lying on the couch and clicked on your video. At 0:18 you said, "Excursion" and since I own one I perked up. Then I saw that vehicle behind you and realized what it was. Oh well; it was still good. GREAT VIDEO!
Let me start by saying I love all you videos Ivan. This on the other hand is a bad idea in my opinion, This should have had an external relay installed, The way Ivan did this, the fuel pump will not time out when ignition is on with KOEO. Using the circuit diagram it would have been a tiny bit more work to add the external relay.
There is a safety risk here. If the truck is in an accident where the fuel line was severed the fuel pump will continue to run as long as the key is on, dumping fuel on the ground and creating a fire hazard. The ECU would normally stop the fuel pump as soon as the engine stalled, making a fire significantly less likely and less devastating. Your bypass would literally be adding fuel to the fire if there was one. The inertia switch should in theory trip, but those take a good shock to trigger. Depending on the accident it may not cut off the fuel. That said, still better than junking the truck over a stupid module. I would have integrated some kind of stall cut-off though.
That works, but an external relay using the same circuits would be safer and working as designed. Like Mopar did with their TIPM external relay kit. No rpm no fuel pump.
Not to be a safety Sally but with the computer controlled fuel pump relay bypassed there is power to the pump anytime the key is on? No 5 second prime or crank signals to keep the fuel pump on anymore, would that be safe?
That's so crazy, I literally just did a bypass like this for a customer Camry yesterday. However, I told him that this is only temporary and he has to promise me to buy a replacement relay (on Toyota it's an unserviceable cartridge with multiple relays inside, atleast the cartridge can be replaced) because in the event of an accident, the job of the Toyota circuit opening relay is to open the circuit to cut off fuel. He agreed but I don't think he's buying the relay lmao. Still gotta cover your ass though.
Suspicious design move . If the thing is cheapo at junkyards it might be fun to dig out the module and see if that particular relay/ contacts even meets specs for this application or perhaps the failure is a feature of some internal safety item ? .
(1/of 3) I'd of preferred you replicate the "pitted" relay externally to the junction box rather than just jumper around it. However I'm uncertain if the control lines for this pitted relay are available. If so, an additional external relay best meets engineering criteria. -----(2/of 3) If it's possible to remove all connections to the pitted relay load contacts you might revitalize points by applying a punch-through voltage to them. Clearly, if done wrong you'll roast your terminal block.---- (3/of 3) I learned early in my career that relay points for D.C. currents thru inductive loads require a diode across across inductor load IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION to current flow to allow collapsing inductor flux to continue flowing thus preventing arcing across relay points. Recall, inductor voltage, V_L = L(dI/dT) so that quick dT => enormous V_L unless this load diode shorts out collapsing flux. Also with instantaneous decaying current (dI), V_L goes negative to then forward bias its diode to collapse its field rather than jump the relay points. DO FUEL PUMPS HAVE INTEGRAL COIL DIODES??
Great video I had the same issue on my stepfathers 2002 f250 superduty v10. I put an external relay by fuse box felt safer that way also I can replace relay and have a testing spot for future. Worked good but the secondary circuit high code is still there. Doesn't set light and runs like a charm. Had a tough time confirming fix cause of fuel gauge issues one I had didn't have adapter. So I rented one from autozone. Car was running, revving up battery voltage good but no fuel pressure on gauge reading. Didn't want to take out on road cause I used up free tows and didn't want to pay the high tow bill. So I got one from O'Reily's and same thing. It needs a certain pressure just to start I thought. So I ordered one from Amazon but adapter I needed was damaged! Lol so I go to harbor freight and but one there and it worked. Had fuel pressure on readings and it was perfect. So I say all that to say be weary of rental fuel gauges. Might end up with a new fuel pump when not even needed.
When making a Y splice without cutting the straight wire, with vinyl electrical tape insulated, you can put a drop of super glue under the end of the tape, so when the tape won’t get gooey and unravel after time passes.
You do not need to switch fuse boxes I rebuild them all the time and install a much larger relay for the pump. I also relocate the fuel pump module on the 04-10
So after the fix, when the ignition switch is on and when the engine is not running the pump is running ? If yes, then maybe adding the "bypass" relay would be a better idea. Of course I'm assuming in normal operation ( before the fix ) the pump only primes when the ignition switch is first turned on and then turns off if the engine is not started.
Ohhh no Ivan you lied required a piece of wire😂. Great diagnostic and nice work. Thank you. Can you make a modification and place a relay somehow to replace the damaged one?
Very common issue on these trucks. Other weird electrical issues happen on these as well due to a windshield leak that gets that same fuse block on the passenger side footwell all wet.
The bad news is that pump will run continuously with the key on instead of just running or a few seconds and shutting off. I wouldn’t do something like this would come back to bite me in the future.
I might do this on my own car but not a customer. It might also be there to shut the fuel pump off in the event of an accident. Why take the risk of lawsuits. It is all documented on TH-cam. It is not worth the risk.
Ivan, maybe sometime you could get one of these electrical panels and open it up to see what it takes to replace the internal relay, I guess they should have just made it an external relay so it could be changed. Maybe when it was designed they didn't think it was going to fail as often as they do. I'm a big fan of the modules and items that you open up to see what makes them tick, and what it would take to make them work again. Also I noticed that a lot of viewers stated that an external relay should have been used... how much extra work would that be? I personnel don't see an issue with a jumper and the fact that there are several other safety items that will shut the pump off in the event of an accident. I'm just curious how you would go about wiring an external relay in. ✌
Leave switch on for a while and it possibly will set high code because computer will make command for a few seconds and turn off pump if engine is not started and running. I have fixed many of these fuse boxes and keep one ready to install in stock and swap out and repair the other and put on shelf. It use to be so common but could wire external relay like tipm on chrysler's, dodge models
Did you drive cycle the vehicle to make sure all the emissions monitors would set with that repair? I would be worried about that...some vehicles that have an ecu controlled fuel pump would not be happy about this. This may be old enough it doesn't care. Appreciate your videos Ivan!
Well done, Ivan! Clever way to bypass an absurd problem "invented" by Ford! Initially I thought you would install an external relay, but when you said "no parts required" and shown the diagram, it's a perfect solution.
It's not a perfect solution. Any time the vehicle has any service requiring key on engine off the fuel pump will run constantly. Run out of gas and leave the key on and the pump runs dry. If you run out of gas and want to push the vehicle or flat tow it the key must be on. If you run out of gas and call for a tow the tow operator will turn the ignition on to turn the wheels, load the vehicle etc, and the pump will run constantly with the key on, running a liquid transfer pump dry is never good for the pump.
Isn’t the fuel pump relay there as a protection. With this jump the pump will run when ever the key is on. If the car stalls it should shut off. That’s what the fuel pump relay is really for. Like for instance if the fuel line were to become compromised to the point where it leaks causing a stall it will continue to pump fuel out until the key is turned off.
So your bypass begs the question: what was the point of Ford installing a separate independently controlled fuel pump relay downstream of the PCM relay?
See any Ford product from the late 1990s/early 2000s. They used an IRCM The IRCM (Integrated Relay Control Module) was basically a box with several relays soldered to a PCM. Cheap to manufacture, but hot dog shit to repair. The car needs a $5 relay, but it gets a $250 (in 1990s $) IRCM.
If the relay just dangles off of the wiring harness, I would just cut off the wires and put little slip-on crimp terminals and then slide them onto a new relay. We're talking a $10 repair to do it right.
If this sort of engineering doesn't let you know these vehicle manufacturers are intentionally trying to screw you, I don't know what is. There's zero benefit to not having an accessible relay. This is another gotcha.
😱 Check your ‘jumper’ wire guage size & what wire size you’re tapping into. Should match or be larger than the existing long run of fuel pump power wire…
Hi Ivan, I have a doubt about how the fuse been powered while testing with light both sides however in the diagram was after the relay and the feed was before the relay not before the fuse...... Did you check wire integrity from the relay to the pump and the feed in the load side under the relay.
Late 90's ford pickup trucks also had relay soldered to fuse panel board, I desoldered relay and replaced, it is a tiny relay, your fix would have been easier and a bigger relay
Would it be a good idea to put on some white electrical tape and write on it what was jumped ? It might help the next person who might look at that in the future.
Although I'm sure you often wonder ' why did they do it that way?' I assume ( U Me ass etc...) That the Fuel Pump relay is controlled by the PCM ( C 175b) for some reason. Did you monitor that to see if it goes open at some point? Do research? I know, I know, it works like this what more do you want? But that would bug me just in case there was a safety issue involved.
Well I know Ford didn't put that integrated relay in there just for fun so what functionality is lost with the bypass,,,, there has to be something....

That's AWESOME!! Keep up the great work!!
I've fixed several of these Fords by snipping a couple of wires and adding a new external relay to replace the internal relay.
Usually I'm all for the npr but in this case it would be worth adding a relay that actually lets the PCM control the fuel pump like it's supposed to.
Highly agree!!!!!
During a collision if the fuel line is ruptured, that integral relay is turned off by the PCM when the PCM sees the crankshaft stop turning. This was mandated by the Feds so that occupants still alive don't find themselves in a growing pool of gasoline under the vehicle, that possibly might catch fire.

Look at the schematic on the screen, With this change the factory inertia switch will still shutoff power in the event of a crash.

That's janky. There's a reason for that relay. All so you can say "no parts required" as if that's some magic achievement.

Probably a good idea to tag the jumper in case some other Ivan has to trouble shoot the high signal code on the fuel pump.
Another one of your good ol Russian repairs. I like what one of your other commeters suggested, bypass it with an external replaceable relay.
There are kits to replace that relay. all the power and control signals are available at that module as well.
Thanks for the video Ivan.

My trick to strip wires is to use a cigarette lighter to heat up the insulation to melt then pull apart. Never have to worry about damaging wire.
There is a big reason pcm controls the fuel relay think about it.

You have to be an electronics technician on today’s cars. Mechanics are the easy part.
If this sort of engineering doesn't let you know these vehicle manufacturers are intentionally trying to screw you, I don't know what is. There's zero benefit to not having an accessible relay. This is another gotcha.
Quick and dirty 😂
😱 Check your ‘jumper’ wire guage size & what wire size you’re tapping into. Should match or be larger than the existing long run of fuel pump power wire…
My only thought on this is, is there any condition where the computer needs to shut the fuel pump off? Like saving the cat or anti theft???
I'd like to see an external stand alone relay for that circuit if it was my vehicle because I'm fussy about my wiring.
Cripes! A relay that can't handle 5 amps. You can buy a 40 Amp relay for a few bucks.
Hi Ivan, I have a doubt about how the fuse been powered while testing with light both sides however in the diagram was after the relay and the feed was before the relay not before the fuse...... Did you check wire integrity from the relay to the pump and the feed in the load side under the relay.

I think I'd have done it properly and put a new external relay in. There's a reason it's meant to be there.
But why not take a little extra time and run an external relay so it functions like factory and doesn’t set a code at all
Would it be a good idea to put on some white electrical tape and write on it what was jumped ?
It might help the next person who might look at that in the future.
will the flood mode still work ?
You are the man
Please excuse me for asking, but does this repair comply with the PHAD standard regarding safety?
Although I'm sure you often wonder ' why did they do it that way?' I assume ( U Me ass etc...) That the Fuel Pump relay is controlled by the PCM ( C 175b) for some reason. Did you monitor that to see if it goes open at some point? Do research? I know, I know, it works like this what more do you want? But that would bug me just in case there was a safety issue involved.
Curiosity question: Rt15 or Rt220 ? There's very little on the NYS side of the border in either.
Will this repair turn SES light off for the emission state inspection
Ahhh the old rely bypass Ford, done a bunch of these. Nissan and Chrysler apparently loved the idea and did it too not long after. :/
