BreakYaNeckSS Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 so it took me a couple of nights to figure out why the next day i jumped in my truck and its completely dead, turns out when i shut my truck off the intercooler pump stays running. the resivior is full so i know its not looking for coolant. when i had my hood popped and wiggling things, out of frustration a hit my fuse box and it shut off...maybe im answering my own question here but does this sound like a bad relay, if so where can i find one, any ideas guys? thanks BYN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 As I recall, the intercooler pump is relayed off the fuel pump circuit. So if it was working fine in the past, then the relay has probably gone bad. The relays are pretty generic, you could probably find them at an autoparts store. A real autoparts store, that is. I don't know that a Pep Boys or Kragen type place would have it, but they might. If this is a new install, check your wiring to make sure you tapped into the correct circuit. It needs to be a line that goes off when the engine goes off (just like the stock fuel pump). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usabodyguard Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 same exact thing happened to me word for word... it is a 3 dollar relay you can pick up anywhere... it is most likely located in your fuse box underneath... if they mount it upside down, flip it over so it is facing down... or get it replaced... it is a mini relay you can buy at any auto parts store and will take you 5 minutes to install... dont bother calling MGSN... this is an easy fix.... but yea it drained my battery as well...
