So I have an intermittent fuel pump no-prime or shut down if I move my ECC from a horizontal to a vertical position.

So a few items:
- I know it’s solid state and orientation does matter
- I hear a relay clicking button can’t tell if it’s just the PDC relay and not the fuel relay
- in the inoperable position I have swapped relays to test for a bad one
- I can move the ECC while the car is running and the pump will shut down and then come back on

Based on the wiring diagram and in the inoperable position, I think that;
- I can jump the test connector (Wht/Pink to LGT B)
- if I get power to the pump then there is a short between the test connector splice to the
- if no ground to the pump then the short has to be somewhere between the splice and the pin connector (I think it is a this)

Just wanted to run this logic by people.
doesn’t seem that the ignition relay, the +12, or the DK Green monitor items would be of issue.

Thanks

Sounds like a broken wire, or a wire with corrosion.
Another possibility is that the connector to the PCM has terminals that do not have a tight fit with the connector, so that when you move the PCM the harness is pulling on the terminal either making a better or worse connection.

Thank so will check the 22 pin on the harness side connector. It does it with 2 different ECCs as I first though it was a bad ECC.

And I’d be right that if it’s a wire it’s the Lt Blue some where pin to PDC fuel relay?

Are there any good sources for replacement ECU pins (harness side) or connectors?

Salvage yard, if you're lucky. Any Ford of the era will do.
