I have a strange issue with the petrol pump on Bertie, our 1994 Punto Cabrio. The pump has stopped working, but there is not a problem with the pump, I have a spare which I have tested off the car, but when I connect it, it doesn't work. I have tested the live feed to the pump and it is fine, it becomes live when the engine is cranked, which is correct. I have also checked the earth, which again is fine. However, when I connect the pump the live feed goes dead. Disconnect it and it is live again. It seems like the car recognises when the pump is connected and kills the live feed.
I have posted a thread on the Punto forum and Facebook page, but as the car is not a GT and I am not lowering the suspension or painting my wheels nobody is able to assist. Commer owners, however, are a helpful bunch and have assisted me with this car in the past. Any ideas?
