hi there, i have a vq statesman 5.0ltr which has a strange problem, just wondering if anyone could help me out with any ideas. the fuel pump likes to start itself, ill drive down the street, jump out, lock the car walk off, and away it goes, i then have to take the fuse out to stop it! or it will just be sitting in the shed and away it goes!! obviously theres some sort of electrical fault, but has anybody ever heard of it happening? got any ideas? thanks

I would suggest that there is a short at the relay. I had my horn relay decide to operate independantly of my right hand on Monday. Luckily, it happened right next to a marked cop car. he saw me belt the shit out of the horn bar, laughed and drove off.

Try pulling out the fuel pump relay, and pull one of the others out and stick it in, see if it fixes it. If so, it's the relay. At least they's easy to access on the Commonwhores.
