New racetronix pump not working. This is the last step before starting my h/c set up, but I ran into a snag. I have a new racetronix 255 w/ wiring harness, but it will not turn on. The kit is new (by new I mean I bought it a couple years ago and it sat in its package on a shelf in my garage)
I think I have it installed correctly, but maybe not. I have pictures of everything, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

Check out the fuse in the hotwire kit....I had the same issue when I installed my Racetronix pump. After an hour of fiddling decided to check that fuse, and sure enough it had burned up immediately 
Put a new one in, and it started right up!

I think I know what I did not do. Fuse was fine.
In the second picture it looks like the connector that looks like it needs to be connected into the system. I just found the instructions on the racetronix support website. Let me try this again.

Hmm, it still doesn't add up. Did they change their wiring harness? I bought this pump about 4 years ago, and the wiring harness does not look like what they have pictured on the racetronix website.

I had a intermittent problem with the pump not kicking on after i installed my hotwire kit and pump. My problem ended up being not getting a good connection with the wiring at the bulkhead when i installed the hot wire setup. Check all the wiring out there. I bet that is where your problem lies.

It is the previous style wiring harness, I just confirmed it with the invoice March 15 2005, right before they changed it. I emailed tech support on racetronix, and made a post there. Hopefully someone there or here can help me out with this. Just playing the waiting game.
