[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 109546, member: 82"] It sounds like when the previous owner hooked up the pump, they did it on a power line that just didn't have enough current carrying capacity. Pumps really don't use lots of power. Nor eason why you can't hook up a relay in the engine bay to power it. You already have switched power to the pump, just use those wires to power the relay coil and then run a +ve wire to the relay and from the relay to the pump. The other end of the pump goes to ground. Hopefully that will give you flicker free lighting. One other thing i thought of, not sure how these run, if thre is any power spike prevention, you can install a diode across the two power wires to the pump, it will prevent power spikes coming back down the line when the coil de-energizes, but i'd think they would already have this fitted internally... Kinda like this: - + ----|<----- The stripe is the negative side of a diode [/QUOTE]
