308 328 mondial fuel pump quit repair

As many of you know, the fuel pump circuit is lousy on the '80's cars. Often you will find that the fault lies near the fuse panel or relay. Here is how I fixed the 86 Mondial 3.2 panel.
The terminals on the relay are marked 30(power +12 in), 85(relay energize), 86(relay energize), 87(relay +12 output), and in the case of the Mondial fuel pump relay it has 2 87 terminals.

So- to make the best bypass systyem for the poor fuse panel...

tap off the large red power input wire going to the fuse panel with an inline fuse holder and crimp a female 1/4" terminal on the end you are going to attach to the 30 relay terminal.

make 2 extension wires to supply trigger power to the relay, a 1/4" male on one end, a 1/4" female on the other. Plug these into the corresponding spot where the fuel pump relay came from and plug them into the 85 and 86 terminals on the relay.

cut the 2 brown wires from the 4th terminal from the bottom right connector and attach a female 1/4" connector to each and install them on the 87 terminals of the relay.

Thats all, full bypass of the fault prone relay/fuse board.
