Yes I agree..."Things are not adding up".
1. New fuel pump relay; It was just 'warm' to the touch...but when I use this infrared/laser temp gauge and move it around the top it gradually got up to 130 degrees but only at one spot (where my finger nail is in the pic; it is on the side that the...
Yes the fuel pump fuse is a 20A.
I was just pointing out that the empty relay connector area (where the old relay was removed), with wires cut from the bottom of the box, still got to about 120 degrees...and that this now empty/unwired area happens to be next to the 40 A fuse (instrument panel...
FYI-update
I spliced in a new square type relay connector and the motor started and ran fine. After letting it run for quite a while I found:
-the temp of the new relay also gradually got up to about 130 degrees (depending on exactly where the temp was measured on the top of the relay, ranged...
OK sounds good. Hopefully the last questions.
The 'skinny' stock relay was a 5-pin and was wired as follows:
-red/purple to 87 (from battery?)
-red/yellow to 30 (to FP?)
-purple to 85 (ignition/alternator?)
-Lt blue/white to 86 (?)
- no wire to 87a
Is there any...
Red meter probe on Red/yell and black meter probe on red/purple:
with motor running: 0.02 V
I also looked but did not find that type of base/connector for the stock relay.
Are you referring to the following relay?
Do you know where I would find the base with wires for that?
First of all...thanks for the help guys.
Voltage across Red/purple and yell/red wires on the relay pins:
Battery switch ON: 13.2 V
Ign switch to acc: 13.0 V
Turn batt switch to off: 1.0 and drops to 0 V in about 30 sec.

Thanks for the help.
Apparently this box is made so that there is no slot from the top to access and push the tang down ...to pull the connector out. I pushed the sides together from the bottom side as best I could with a very small screw driver. I could see where the lead/wire to the fuel...
OK I got the box apart and can see the 4 wires going in from the bottom. Do I access the tang from the bottom or the top? Is it visible in the picture I attached?
OK thanks for the response. On this GXi-J the fuse and box may be different...see the pics. The box is part of the wiring harness and I don't really see a way to take it apart to check the terminals in the relay mount.

It seems to happen when the motor has been idling for awhile. (I leave the motor on when bottom fishing in the ocean.) There are 2 alarm beeps and then the motor dies. Usually the relay will be HOT (i.e., cannot leave my finger on it.) I replace the relay and the motor...
Hi, there was a post a while back regarding rebuild of the trim rams.
https://forums.iboats.com/threads/dps-a-trim-cylinder-rebuild.643967/post-4756016
My question is about replacing the retainer and 0-ring on the ram where the line slips in-to (that is where mine is leaking). The post...
