Nice Spring weather today.
I took the time to trace (almost) every wire, and label them, so I don't screw up later.
I previously installed a relay jack - so that I do not screw up relay connections (again...)
I previously installed the 1n1190ar 40amp 600v "Diode From Hell" at the pump.
I installed the 1n4001 / 1n5378 "combo".
I replaced both 1n4001 diodes before the pump.
Wiring power directly to the pump makes the pump run at full speed, and does not blow a fuse. Leaving the diode from hell out of the circuit does not seem to have any effect in this case.
Indicator LEDs show power when SPST switch is closed, however, the pump does not come on automagically, when the pressure is at zero.
The manual override momentary switch works, but the pump sounds slow, and the 5 amp fuse blows in about 30 seconds. There is also the smell of something hot coming from the dash components.
I'm just not sure what I'm looking for.
My guesses?
~ I did not have time to test the APS today, but that is top of my list for next session.
~ Relay coil may be bad. (I'll try a different one, next session.)
~ Pretty sure that all connections on the 5amp circuitry are making good contact, will also check this next session.
~ I may have an LED on the wrong side of the diode / zener combo, but I ran out of daylight this evening
~ When I get several hours of time during good weather, I am going to remove the dash trim, where all of the interior components are mounted. (So are all of the copper pressure lines, regulator, and gauges.) Should I look for something burned there?
I am very certain that I have everything (re)wired correctly - I spent a lot of time chasing wires, and labeling them, to make sure.
Suggestions are ALWAYS welcome.
Either way, I'll check in as I get time to fiddle-fart around with this little bugger.
