Re: Trunk Fuel Resistor

Flysyle,

(1) You advise "the module passed the same continuity checks that I placed the original part through." I presume that by "module" you mean "modulator". I can not find any previous reference to this check. The modulator should only pass current and show continuity when switched on via the ECU as it constitutes a solid state relay. Please provide details regarding this continuity check.

(2) You also advise "I tested the ground on the bracket holding both the fuel control module and the fuel resistor". Was/is the metal modulator/resistor assembly still hanging unmounted or is it now bolted in place and solidly connected to ground ?

(3) You advise " I have not yet gone under the car to inspect where this part "dropped" from but you just added to my list of items that I can not explain. Could this item be involved in the grounding and have become detached when you removed the modulator/resistor assembly ?

(4) Have you at any time checked the original resistor for a short circuit between its plug connections and its metal case which should become grounded ? I keep pressing for this information for a good reason.
