Default My brand New Racetronix Pump doesnt work

Yep thats right. I purchase a Racetronix pump and wiring harness a few months ago and just got around to installing it and what do you know. The relay is bad on the wiring harness. Or at least thats what I hope it is. I tested the voltage going into the relay and it was good and coming out......Nothing! So now Im trying to get a hold of Racetronix to take care of this promblem. Im thinking I could most likely just go to a local parts store and pick up a relay myself and save myself a lot of heartache and time. Has anyone else had promblems like this with there Racetronix Wiring Harnesses?

Are you referring to the Racetronix harness that plugs between the stock connector and body connector?

I had the same problem with mine. Took me countless hours to figure it, until I just plugged the stock harness in and the pump worked. I contacted Racetronix who told me to send it back, but I really didn't want remove all of wiring so I left the stock harness in.

Well here is the update. I tried replacing the relay and of course it still doesnt work. Has anyone else had any promblems like this with their wiring harness or pump. I have checked voltage going in and out of the relay and still no power coming out, even after the new relay. I am about to just hook the pump up the the stock pump harness and try it that way.
Question? Do these pumps whine or make any noise when first turned on, like stock pumps do when they are priming.

Is the 12v signal there? Yes, they should whine when the ignition is on.
