Re: [T3] fuel pump relay ground


>>>That is the other end of that wire on #85. Try grounding that wire, in 
the engine compartment, with the key on. This should make the pump run.<<<

I can supply a ground to that connection, Russ, and the pump will 
run.....but isn't that just bypassing the function of the brain which is 
determining when the pump runs and when it doesn't run?........I don't know 
when a condition would be that the brain doesn't want the pump to run, do 
you?....Is it a safety thing?......I know I can provide any ground to the 
pump relay #85 and have the pump run whenever the key is in the "run" 
position, but I think VW must have wanted the brain to control the pump 
relay for a reason???
