Help. Can't find fuel pump relay 92 GXE
 
I want to replace the relay and test the fuel pump pressure before replacing the pump since it costs $300. Can anyone specicy exactly where it is. I have the Chiltons manual but can't find it.
thx, Matthew

I'm pretty sure its in the trunk. Take off the panel around your inside around your tailights and see if its in there. You could always get a walbro fuel pump if you had to replace it. They are a lot cheeper. Dont know how the install is on them but I see people w/ them all the time. Good luck

Remove the trunk trim near the left tail light at the bottom of the trunk opening. The fuel pump relay is there.

Thanks, Problem solved it was the fuel pump
 
I didn't actually replace the fuel relay instead I tested the pump to make sure it was getting power when the key was turned to on, it was. Then I pulled the fuel line from the engine side of the fuel filter. I drilled a hole in the lid of one of those free big plastic cups places are always giving away. I put the line in the lid of the cup and turned the key to on. The pump should have primed at that point but nothing came out. I tried starting the car just to make sure, but no fuel. Pump was bad. Replaced it and as soon as I turned the key to "on" the pump primed and the cup filled up about 1 inch with fuel. The max is back on the road.
Thanks
Matthew
