help!!!!!!!!
Pleas any help on my problem, i have a 89 scala. Been running sweet but today went to start and no power at all, 1.5v in the battery. Got a jump and it was fine charging so i know thats not the problem but when i got home i turned the car off and the fuel pump was still running the only way i could stop it is by pulling the fuse out. Any ideas people????

Re: help!!!!!!!!
seems as if the wiring is shorting causing a permanent live. check simple things first, ie- pull the relay out and then push it back in .. you could always make your own ignition live cable directly to the wiring on the main pump through a added relay into existing wiring from battery. seems odd that you have permanent live rather than ignition live.

Re: help!!!!!!!!
Always worth checking the back of the fuse panel (box) for water ingress as it can short the contacts at the rear. It leaves obvious staining/corrosion.
I thought the relay was switched so you must have a short somewhere to keep it live.

Re: help!!!!!!!!
Took the relay out and it was very burned so i think its that. Ive ordered one so fingers crossed thats the fix if not back to the drawing board...
