I just finished a 1300 mile tow of my car. Which hasd a lube pump. about 500 miles into the tow the pump alarm went off. I was only a few miles from Parked so I fired up the car's engine to pump the fluid and finished the trip
There have been a few issues with this pump. The original pump failed. so it was repalced. this one blows fuses. So I tried a circuit breaker, Promptly blew the controller.. I should have de-engineered further on the controller and found if I could just beef up what failed but alas. I did not.
So I added a relay The power to the relay contacts is tapped into the power to the controller line with FOUR, count them FOUR "Stocth lock" type connectors ALL FOUR FAILED
now spliced and soldered SOLID.
