Close to disaster
Drove the truck home last night and filled with fuel on the way home. got home and was hearing a screeching type noise and figured it was related to the neighbors.
annoyed at the noise after 1/2 hr+ went out to find out what was causing it. found fuel pump in the truck running and pump unit in tank was warm.
Went to the cab to check relay and found relay box hot and relay really HOT to hot to touch. got relay out of relay/fuse panel under seat.
not sure cause yet. hope it is just a bad relay that stuck closed and ran pump for all that time. Might have a ECM issue that kept the relay engaged, possible wire issue also. need to start with getting a new relay and see where I'm at.
Never heard of the relay brand and it is one of the relays that came with the fuse/relay panel from GMPP with the connect and cruise kit.
the relay was very HOT for 15-20 minutes after removing, I think not far from a fire.
