What happens when the relay is not activated?
When the relay is not activated, this circuit is ‘open’, and as such, does not send any power to anything. Both of these circuits are completely independent from one another, since the voltage/current flowing thru’ them don’t mix. To get into more specifics, this is what happens when you turn On the Key and crank the engine:
Why does my Ford pickup have a green relay?
You’ll be able to find out if the fuel pump relay, or the fuel pump Inertia Switch, or the fuel pump is the cause of the No Start Condition on your Ford car or pickup. If your fuel injected Ford pickup, van, or car still has the Ford relay, this bad boy will be a green color (like the one in the image viewer).
What happens when the fuel pump relay is not activated?
This is the circuit that delivers the voltage (and thus current) to the fuel injection computer (EEC Electronic Control Assembly), fuel injectors, fuel pump relay, etc. When the relay is not activated, this circuit is ‘open’, and as such, does not send any power to anything.
Is the EEC power relay easy to recognize?
The EEC Power Relay is easy to recognize because it’s usually a brown color. If the EEC Power Relay has already been replaced, you can still recognize it by its brown colored connector. In this ‘how to’ tutorial, I’ll show you how to test it on your Ford car or pickup in a step-by-step manner.
