W126 Petrol Pump / Start Problem
Hi,
My car's details are as follows:
1985 W126 280SE (Euro Spec - sold in South Africa)
Problem description:
Car doesn't want to start - engine turns fine. Figured out no power getting to the petrol pump - car starts and runs like a dream once I give direct power to the petrol pump.
After market immobiliser is installed in the car - bypassed/switched-off without any luck.
Has anyone heard of / had this problem before? Where should I start looking - is the best place the Fuel Pump Relay? If so, where can I find this - is it located under the dashboard behind the glovebox?
Thanks for the help!
