Your question was
Hi, I have a 1989 249DL non-turbo. The car was running when I stored the car for about a year. Now the car wont start and the fuel pump wont run. All the fuses are good. I removed the cover to the fuel pump relay and noticed when I turn the key on, only half of the relay "clicks" (closed contacts)and the other half doesnt "click". I manually closed the contacts for the fuel pump and the car ran. So I replaced the relay. The new relay also does not "click" for fuel pump half of the relay. I used an Ohm meter and determined there is no resistance in the green w/blue tracer wire between the relay and the Jetronic computer (on the right kick panel) pin #20. Any info will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,

in the engine bay on the drivers side near the strut tower there is a small black box with a wire attached to it.place the wire in the terminal marked 2.turn ignition key on (not started)press the small button for 1 second and the code will be displayed as a series of flashes.a red led displays the codes.the code will be three digits.small pause in between flashes for a single number long pause between flashes for the next number.example 121 will be flash.....flash..flash.....flash.repeat three times or until first code repeats itself.to erase the code after all codes have been checked hold the button for a good 5 seconds then release the light should light steady,then press for another 5seconds.this will erase the codes. email me the codes and i will tell you what they are..socket 2is the fuel system 6 is ignition.
Hi, your account has been full, you must be busy helping people! Terminal 2 did not flash at all. Terminal 6 flashed 111.
Answerthis code is normal.if no resistance you mean infinite or open circuit in the wire try splicing a wire between the relay and control unit and see if that makes the relay run if so the wire may have an open circuit.you could also use a test light to check for a ground at this wire during cranking also at the yellow black wire.if one or both are missing the problem may be in the fuel control unit.
