    Hi, can anyone tell me where to find the Fuel pump relay on a 1978 308 gts?? It is not with the other relays?

    i have no power going to the fuel pump all of a sudden and the fuse is intact so am thinking it must be the relay. Any other ideas other than the relay??

    Many thanks

    Thanks for the post. I just had the exact same problem on my 78. Loose connection, you saved me some aggravation.

    Actually, you gotta love the safety feature. No pressure in the switch imbedded in the seat meant you were upside down and it would be advisable to discontinue fuel spewing onto a hot wheels-up engine. But it did mean a brick was necessary to attend to a running engine without sitting in the seat. So, where's the pit crew?

    You can't have it all.

    Hey Paul,
    I was more commenting on the various ways these cars can perform the "gotcha" on you when stuff stops working. Like you allude to Ferrari was again ahead if the curve with this safety feature.
