Where is the fuel pump wire located on a Nissan?

Why Nissan used a white/black wire from the relay to the body harness connector (found under the carpet beneath the passenger’s seat) is a mystery to me. All other fuel-related wires throughout the truck are brown as is the connecting terminal in the body harness connector which goes directly to the fuel pump.

Where is the fuel pump relay on a Datsun?

Look Under Here! To find it, look under the dash on the passenger’s side. It is just visible above the kick panel in front of the door and will have the auto choke relay attached, and in automatic trucks, the fuel cut solenoid. The fuel pump relay itself has a 6-pin connector going into it.

What kind of fuel pump does a 1981 Datsun have?

I have a 1981 Datsun and a 1984 Nissan and they both have this troublesome black box. Your repair guide not only ignores it, but it is conspicuously absent from the wiring diagrams, making diagnosing and repairing electric fuel pump problems virtually impossible.

How long does a Nissan fuel pump relay last?

A factory relay is labeled Jideco, and if you choose to replace it, they seem to last about 20 years. On the back of the assembly are four Phillips screws. Once removed, the cover and insulator come off and you’re looking at the circuit board of the relay itself.

It is just visible above the kick panel in front of the door and will have the auto choke relay attached, and in automatic trucks, the fuel cut solenoid. The fuel pump relay itself has a 6-pin connector going into it. Those are six wires that you will not find on your wiring diagrams.

How do you remove fuel pump from Datsun?

Remove the attached relay (s) and then undo the two screws holding the fuel pump relay to the panel. I found it easiest to remove the knee bar and heater blower motor first, but if you have very short screwdrivers and small hands, you can probably manage less disassembly than I did.

Where are the Phillips screws on a Datsun fuel pump?

On the back of the assembly are four Phillips screws. Once removed, the cover and insulator come off and you’re looking at the circuit board of the relay itself. On the opposite side are the resistors, amps, and the big coil that should trip the relay when all is well—but has probably failed.

What kind of fuel pump does a Nissan 720 have?

Dan has been an auto mechanic, truck driver, engineer, and many other things. This article is for owners of the 1981–1985 Datsun or Nissan 720 pickups with the electric fuel pump. On this page, you will learn how to go beyond the typical service manual fuel delivery problem diagnosis.
