Hi there finaly had my spinal fusion OP 2 weeks ago "OUCH!" so cant get into my Toy for a good few weeks so guy coming to fit trickle charger, but i went to start car the other day turned off the autowatch alarm put key into ignition turned onto position 1 but the fuel pump wouldnt prime itself.
All the ignition lights came on and it did turn over but no noise from fuel pump!
Its due to visit Jetstream in a couple of months to have a larger capacity pump fited' I think M400?
And pigy back intercooler-M400?--- God i dont know i just drive the bloody thing!!
But was just wondering if there was a seperate fuse in the footwell or somewhere else that could have blown or should i just hit it with a big hammer or get the autowatch guy to come and check it..
Thanx a very missrable, aching, dont want to live any more Noble owner!

If you have the fuel wiring mod done you may have a fuse on the wire between the battery, relay and pump. Above the battery somewhere

If its any help, even with my serious lack of mechanical ability, i managed to change the fuel pump in about 30 minutes (upgrading to the M400 one as you are). dead simple. Mine doesnt, as far as i am aware, have a separate fuse - happy to be corrected by others though !

I can confirm, being a non mechanic, I swapped the standard fuel pump for a M400 one in about 1 hour, including new wiring.

Easy !

To test : remove the standard fuel pump (clamp off the fuel line) and connect it to a 12 V source to see/hear if it spins
