Relays or Fuel Pump

[jjustice]

I have a 2003 SAN 210 Team. I have been reading some older threads (https://www.planetnautique.com/vb5/f...em=#post221327) about starting issues related to the fuel pump relays. Most of the threads seem to refer to the GT40 and I was wondering if the same thing applies to my rig. I have very similar symptoms. Engine turns over but won't crank. When I hit the switch I can hear what I think is the pump priming, but it simply won't crank. The breaker next to the batter has already been replaced along with the kill switch and the on/off/bilge toggle. All that seems good. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Yeah sounds like you are not getting power to the electronic fuel pump. The GT 40 is very similar. You have a mechanical and electric pump.

just to clarify - is the issue a 'crank no start' (engine will make the starting sound but will stop once you disengage the 'start' button)
- or is it a 'no crank, no start' (dash lights come on but no sound from engine or starter when pressing 'start' button)

when you say your engine turns over but doesn't crank, does that mean you have tried to turn the engine over by hand?

hopefully this might clarify further responses and get you some resolution.

Be sure to PHYSICALLY check - by pushing down on the 'IGN RUN' and 'IGN START' breakers on the PME located behind the footwell area under the steering wheel. If the 'IGN RUN' breaker isn't making contact, this will create a 'crank,no start' condition and will inhibit the fuel pump from engaging.

Thanks for the info. I haven't had a chance to post on this yet, but I replaced the relay switches under the engine cover and it now cranks and runs fine. Happy it was a cheap repair, was afraid it might be something expensive.
