Fuel pump relay replacement

[dfroster]

I need to replace the fuel pump relay on my 2011 Nytro XTX with the newer solid state relay. Is it a simple pull out old and pop in new? Or more to it? Appreciate any input, advice, instruction, etc.

It is simple in that you don't need any special knowledge, skillset or tools, however, I did an extension and track swap last year, as well as swapping the fuel relay, and the relay was the biggest PITA out of everything I did. Helps to have rubber hands or girlie-sized hands. I'm sure you can remove a bunch of junk to get to it easier but I was too stubborn to do that.

How did you do it?

I found that if I pulled all the relays out (off the bracket still connected to wire harness) it was fairly easy to change them. Replace the load and fan relay while your at it. Cheap insurance.

Sorry, forgot that part. I pulled the relay out and replaced it with a new one. LOL. That's it, just need to get access to it. There are tabs that need to be pried up so that the relay will release from the holder. Like Yannie said, there is a rubber holder that holds the relays, it slides over a metal bracket. You can pop that entire relay holder off which allows you to angle it in anyway that you find beneficial. Either way, it is in a tight spot. You will figure it out once you get in there.

Excellent link. Thanks! The owners manual should identify which relay if for the fuel pump. Probably be gashing up a few knuckles on this one.

Don't go by the owner's manual. The position of the relays seems to vary from sled to sled. You can identify each relay by the color of the wires going to it, Grizz posted the wire colors in the link I referenced.

Great tip. Thanks bro!

Does anyone have part numbers for those solid state relays?

The fuel pump relay is the one you can feel go "click" when you turn the key on (not start).

ok, so should i just get the one for the fuel pump or should i just get for 3 of them and change them all while i'm at it?

I believe you can change all to solid state except for the one that feeds the lights. I believe the connector pattern's different on that one.

Verified - see this thread; steiner's post.

I changed all three. Not expensive.

Sounds good, I just bought them. The machine has sat for years. Im just hoping the relays r my only problem.
