Okay, everyone. I apologize for using all caps in my previous posting. I didn't know that it was offensive. I am very old schooled in mechanics so the explanation of how it works now days was very helpful. My unit is built on a Ford motorhome class A chassis 1996. When I disconnected the wire to the inline fuel pump at the inertia switch it probably was a not a good idea. However there was a very high amperage draw (way over 10 amps,) and I was afraid that the intank fuel pump was malfunctioning. I guess that I should just drop the 75 gal tank and replace the intank fuel pump. I want to thank everyone that took time to try and help me.

HELLO! MY INTANK FUEL PUMP QUIT AND SOMEONE INSTALLED A INLINE PUMP. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TURN ON THE KEY TO POWER IT UP, IT TURNS OFF AFTER TWO SECONDS. THE NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY IS SPLICED TO THE OUT LINE OF THE INERTIA SWITCH AND ALSO GROUNDED TO THE FRAME. BOTH INCOMING AND OUTGOING WIRES TO THE INERTIA SWITCH HAVE 12V FOR 2 SECONDS AND GOES OFF. THE FUSE BOX RELAY IS WORKING FINE BUT THE GROUND FOR THE SWITCH PART OF THE RELAY REVERTS FROM TOTAL GROUND TO 1.75 VOLTS AFTER 2 SECONDS. THIS OPENS THE RELAY AND THIS OPENS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. SO AFTER 2 SECONDS I HAVE NO ELECTRIC TO THE PUMP. CAN I JUST RUN A PERMANENT GROUND TO THE FUSE BOX RELAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM? ALSO THERE WAS A VERY HEAVY DRAW GOING THRU THE RELAY TO THE INERTIA SWITCH AND I ASSUME TO THE INTANK FUEL PUMP. WAY OVER 10 AMPS, SO I DISCONNECTED THAT LINE AT THE INERTIA SWITCH BUT STILL HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO THE NEW FUEL PUMP RELAY. IS THIS WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING?
