Thank you, for response not sure how to do this jump wire, do I need to take the relay apart?
No. Just join the two terminals together in the relay socket with a piece of wire cable. I don't have one spare.Thank you, for response not sure how to do this jump wire, do I need to take the relay apart?
No. Take the relay out and put it in your pocket. Identify terminals 30 and 87 in the fuse box where that relay plugged in and join those two terminals with a bit of wire cable. Just hold or wedge it in. If everything now works your relay is faulty because you've by passed the relay. Only a test, don't run around with just that wire in.Thank you for the information, do you mean take the relay out then take it apart? Solder the contacts together?
Thank you,

So the relay is faulty or the line that switches the relay on has a fault, the relay input can be checked with a meter.I have just jumped the the wire from 30 to 86 the pump came on at once
Try another relay just to confirmI do have a meter, the relay smells like it’s burnt out, I will check the line as you say just in case
Is it a black or yellow one kiddo?I don’t have another relay like this one ,
It's a special Mark, not interchangeable with any other relay in the box.Is it a black or yellow one kiddo?
Get one from a breaker. It would cost too much for me to post one from here after Brexit.It’s black, 4 pin but one pin is narrow
If jumping the switch contacts out makes it work then the voltage required to operate the relay is missing across its coil pins. Earth one side, switched volts on the other.Ok new relay fitted but still not fixed, the pump is not activating but when I use the jumper it’s working? Not sure what else I can try?
