Fuel pump not engaging
DJW:
So, I have this week off. All plastic comes off today to get in and around the bike. Also forgot to mention that the battery is cactus, but I would have to assume that the bike shop used a good battery, not my crappy one that wont hold charge. Off to get a new battery this morning and a trickle charger.
I am not a mechanic by any stretch, but I have a basic understanding if a wire is getting power or an earth is dodgy. I know that the bike shop has said they checked everything they can, but my brain tells me to have a crack myself. I have printed of the topics re the various suggestions and I guess its now a matter of trial and error to see if I can get the fuel pump to prime. If I cannot figure this out there may be a cheap ST1300 on the market at weeks end.

I’m reasonably sure it will be a shorted wire in the loom that zigzags around under the seat.
I know this because it happened to me exactly as you have described ;-*
I’m sure I put a thread with the fix here on the forum.....all I did was ID the problem but not the exact location of the issue as it occurred in the loom over a wire distance of about 2 metres.
My fix was to use a water proof fuse holder from the Fuel relay to the pump and install a 20amp fuse, this way if I get so inclined one day I can pull the fuse and replicate the issue to repair. I can almost guarantee I will never have the time.....this has worked for last 4 yrs without issue.
Cheers

Hi, there are 3 wires of the pump, two brown and a green. Which wire did you connect straight to the fuel relay and what position on the relay please

DJW did you ever solve the problem? Sounds like maybe your key wasn't deactivating the HISS?
