I REALLY hope someone can help me with this. I've never posted on a forum but I have gotten so frustrated I don't know what else to do. I have a '89 Cherokee I bought recently. When I got it the guy who owned it informed me of the "kill switch" mounted in the dash that his mechanic had installed. "No big deal" I figured. Got home and traced it back to the fuel pump relay. All it was was an on/off switch grounded to the body and then running to the ground leg of the relay's coil. I removed it to see what would happen, turned the thing over and it started fine but the minute I released the key from "start" to "run" the fuel pump cuts off and the engine dies. If I hold the key in the "start" postition the Jeep will keep running. I know the relay is fine and the ballast resistor is ohming out fine. I guess I could leave the switch in place and just turm the fuel pump on and off with the switch but I don't like my stuff to be "rigged" and if I forget to cut it off the battery will die. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
