hello chaps

changed the Battery over for a fully charged one and when I conneted it all up
the alarm did the old flashing lights and windows but the fuel pump come on and it stayed on???

and yes will have to do the old key fob thing but the fuel pump was still going and would not turn off so had to disconnect the Bat

so people any ideas? please

My first thoughts would be to suspect the fuel pump relay.

Easy enough to check. I'd think that the "big current" contacts (forget the numbering convention) are sticking together. With the relay on the bench, you'd check for continuity with a multi-meter through those terminals with the relay 'de-energised'.


Other folks might have other ideas though!

That green sort of puss is Verdigris https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdigris

A Tuscan having Verdigris is similar to a human having Venerial Disease and should be treated ASAP
