Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1972 Silver Shadow, memory fades, fuel pump relay

Question
Hello again Jorge,

I am now at the point where I am wanting to start the Rolls, but I am not getting electric to the fuel pumps.  I was wandering if there is a relay for this and where it might be.  I know there are relays for other things, but did not see it for the fuel pumps in any of my manuals.  Also, everything else hooked up to the fuse is working as well.

Thanks,

John


Answer
In the engine bay RHS under the blower ducting beneath a regulator box there are several Lucas relays. 6 or 10 I hope this helps you, I am in Uruguay but I will be back in the states Thurs I can check my books then so let me know if you cant locate it. memory fades a bit with time......................... Sorry wrong series. Yours will be by the washer bottle the fuel pump relay will have a red and brown wire. now one more thing if there is an oil pressure issue the fuel pump relay will not be allowed to energise, check the relay and let me know how you fare. best regards JM
