94 525i Help Needed... Won't Run

[Ross]

Fuel pump relay failure is common. Open the electronics box under the hood right side. The fuel pump relay is the one in the middle. Either jump terminals 30 & 87 or swap a different relay in. Fuse #23 is for the pump.
If the pump still won't operate it's probably bad.

...do a search for:
- Bentley Manual (online in .pdf) to get you started, it's got a great pic of the fuel pump relay...
- then go buy the manual from amazon.com or somewhere....
- relay is about $12 if I remember correctly...
- ALSO if I remember correctly, the fuel relay is on the inside of the driver's side fender, by the orange ABS device, under the smaller black plastic cover.... one of the 3 relays in there? (it's here on the forum, just search).
- fuel pump is accessed via panel on floor in trunk (careful w/sparks and gas!! ) new fuel pump go about $225-250ish...

good luck. Rob.
