My electric water pump stopped working briefly yesterday. When I noticed, I grabbed the connector to check for power but the pump came back on. It's been on for 2 days operating normally, but now I'm skiddish. Anyone have any recommendations to ensure it's on when driving? I'm thinking of wiring an LED in series just to see a closed circuit on the dash.
Bonus photo: I tied up some loose ends while sheltering in place. Removed the hood since I was in the front end for a few weeks. This was my method for replacing and adjustment. 2 tie straps and a pool noodle.
But FWIW I have seen more problems with the relay, vs the actual pump....
I like the factory fan relay for a pump relay for a few reasons.
1. The fans pull way more amps then the pump, so its heavy enough.....
2. Factory relays seem to be very reliable
3. If it failed, you could swap it with one of the fan relays to make it home, at least that is my plans are with my 93...
BTW. what pump do you have? I always heard the meziere is the most reliable.
electric water pump - backup plan?
