I got to looking at things under the hood and found the connector to my fuel pump relay is almost shot, well, totally shot. Three of the 5 wires are bare and the connector contacts are junk. I'm surprised that I didn't short anything out while messing around with the other relays and modules in the area. Anybody have one? I might find one in the junkyard, but no telling what shape it will be in.

That looks familiar.. and mine did short out for awhile.

Mine did the same thing after I pulled the 2.8L from the car. Did a little rewiring, connected the batteries, and smoke was pouring out of that connector. It had nothing to do with my rewire, I'm sure. Laughing

I've got a grand new fuel pump relay connector you can have. Still in packaging.

That was supposed to say brand new although it is fairly grand.

Most Chevy's I see have that problem. Design flaw in the connector, they should have used a weatherpack.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even buy new ones anymore when I find them, I just cut the wires and repin to run a standard Bosch 5-wire.

The other upside to this is that when the relay goes you can replace it for a few bucks vs. the GM proprietary ones for $25.

How much for the connector? Are you still in Poulsbo? If so, can I come up and get it tomorrow?

You can have it for free. I accidentally ordered two (at least I received two. when I replaced mine a month or so ago. I still live in Poulsbo and I'll be home in the evening. probably after 5 or 6.

Cool, sounds good. You'll have to refresh my memory and PM me with your address. See you tomorrow.

I guess I missed you by about 15 minutes, but your dad (I suppose that's who he was) knew what I was there for as soon as I mentioned it. Exactly what I needed, thanks.

Yeah sorry about that. We forgot that we had planned to go to the races and we were late. Anyways I'm glad that it was the right one.
