urq fuseboxes (suck)

[ben swann]

Derek,

Thanks for the reply.  What you describe summarizes somewhat what I'm
encountering.

I did Identify that the pump itself is seized with a dead short to
ground, indicating that the fuse is probably blown.  Just havent been
able to locate it yet.

I did locate a fuseblock mounted on top of the main panel that had the
green wires with a yellow stripe, but the guage is not the same as the
one going too the pump, and no way it is a 16Amp fuze and it wasn't
blown.  Tried tracing the wires out the back of the block - seem to
correspond to what the '82 coupe diagram - blue multi-wire connector
and I see the red/white wire - so it must changeover to green/yellow.

Anyway the pump needs replacement.  Already drained the varnish out of
the tank and even sloshed some fresh gas and drained.  I am going to
purge the entire fuel system with fresh gas, which now has turned into
fuel pump and wiring.

I'll have fun sorting this one out - NOT!  Who has the best deal on the
Bently for this car - I'll take a used one, as long as the wiring
diagrams are intact.

Ben
