Hey all,
Has anyone noticed that when they push the button and unlock their car that the fuel pump turns on for a second? Went out tonight, unlocked it and heard a quick buzz from the fuel pump : So I locked and unlocked my car a few times just to see and its definately the fuel pump giving it a bit of a squirt before start up.. : thanks, Matt |

Nope, nothing at all..
The car just unlocks and a little fuel pump noise and all is well.. As far as I know there is no wiring issues with the car at all. I dont know if just a standard feature or not thats why im asking lol Oh and I should probably mention that it only does it before I start the car when its cold, after a drive it wont do it.. but if I leave it sit for a few hrs and go back out, it will do it.. |

Who needs a fuel pump when you have LPG.

Mine does it.There is a power source in the car that stays on for power windows and also for interior lights.Even though the lights go off in around a minute,the power turns off about 30 minutes later.This seems to trigger my pump when the central locking works.

Do you have an aftermarket immobiliser/alarm that may control the fuel pump circuit?

Matt.I know its the central locking circuit for sure mate 100%. I have an aftermarket system on my car and the trigger wire for the lock /unlock does power the pump as the dooors lock from memory.
Casper it cant be the fridge as I have not plugged it in yet.
