I want to put in a kill switch on my fuel pump relay on my 93 vert. I have heard that ths is under the drivers seat. Today I went looking and found carpet and french fries but no rely. I have read in other posts that the wire color for the fuel pump has a Light blue/Orange, that was found in the cable bundle going to the back of the car.
Another post I came across today said that the fuel pump relay from 91's on is up under the passenger fender I think.
So where is the best place for me to put connect in the kill switch? Could I cut into the bundle wire or do I have to find the relay? Thanks

Why kill the fuel pump. Kill the hot side of the coil that would be just as well.

the fuel pump wires are run under the driverside rug, atleast in my car anyways. i have a killswitch there now on mine. only reason being that im not longer EFI an im running a holley blue pump which i had hooked up to run through stock relay but it didnt like it. so i have a kill switch on my fuel pump so when i turn the car off, the pump doesnt keep going. annoying an its gonna be changed tomorrow.

As you noted, your FP relay is adjacent the WOT relay under the hood.

Thanks I have found that there are 2 relays on the front passenger strut. Now I need to figure out which is which. What is the color of the cable I want to tap into? Also if there is a place like in the cabin that i can tap the kill switch into is that ok or do i have to be before the relay?

unhook one of the relays, and turn the key if the pump comes on (you hear it) its the wrong one, go pull the other one and you have found the fuel pump relay!! lol

what are you trying to accomplish?

here's a wiring guide to the fuel pump relay, all you want to do is, run a switch in between the power wire...

not 1993 specific, but I beleive the color of the wires is the same..

What I'm trying to do is put in a kill switch for the fuel pump and do it in the easiest way possible. So I need to know the right colored wire to make it happen.

just do a search for kill switch. There was a thread that said which color wire you needed to tap into.
