Duh, talk about missing the obvious! Apparently when I jumped the OBD pins it blew the fuse for the radio/heater constant power. I had tried hooking up my OBD cable with no luck and now it makes sense that this now works as it is powered from this fuse as well. Thanks for the quick and accurate help!

I recently replaced my 1998 SSEi with a 1997 SSEi. Today I tried to program the lock fob. I jumped pins 4 & 8 on the OBD Connector, got in the car closed the door, turned on the key. The locks cycled and I held the lock and unlock buttons on the fob until the locks cycled. Now the fob works, the car ...

I sounds like possible intermittent wiring issue. I would take a look at the pump conector and wiring again could be a broken internal wire near the conector. ohm out the wire while flexing it. when the pumps failed and you had them out did you try to jumper them to see if they were dead? OEM pump ...

Here's the latest. Since my last post I've put in 2 fuel pumps. The last one was good for 1 week. It's 100% the pump each time. I get these from NAPA. My question is there something other then a defective pump that's causing this. I've heard that if the 2 speed pump runs at high speed all the time ...

I had to walk away from this thru the holidays as I had no time and was too frustrated. It finally go to the point the pump wasn't coming on at all - good from a troubleshooting perspective. I unplugged the connector to the sending unit and the pump worked when I plugged it back in. I took a close ...

Appreciate the input. Wouldn't VATS keep it from cranking as well? I've been thinking of putting in a jumper to the pump with a switch in the car to bypass everything when the pump kicks out....

Here's the latest.

Summary:
1. Installed new NAPA pump - still cuts out.
2. Jumped out pump relay as well as substituting fog lamp relay - neither helped non running pump.
3. Cleaned both ground busses - not an issue with the supercharged cars fuel circuit as Mechanic Mike points out above.
4 ...

Car died on me on the road on Sunday. This time the pump did not restart. When we went to push it into the garage the pump did not come on the 1st 2 times I turned the key. When I turned the key and shifted out of park it came on. We replaced the pump and it started fine. It died before I got 3/10 ...

Decided to take a 2nd look at the ground busses. There was some corrosion on the drivers side one. Passanger was clean as a whistle. Fuel pump ran no problem with the buss out of either one???

I brought the car home tonight to put snow tires on. While it was in the garage I figured I would check the ground buss. When I went to start it to move it back away from the lift - you guessed it - no start. I checked the ground buss and it looks fine. I swapped fog light relay and fuel pump relay ...

I have a 1998 SSEi that my wife bought new (Maine lic plate = SSEI) and I bought after she rolled it on it's side a few years ago (separate long story). Despite it's run hard/ put up wet life, I love the car. Unfortunately it's getting near life end with 162K miles but only due to the onset of rust ...
