fuel pump relay

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (Mtl-Marc)]

I don't know about the smell, but I once had a fpr prob, and I was able to
fix the relay. They can be opened, and one of the main coil lead was
unsoldered from the PC board (Printed Circuit for all you electronically
challenged out there). ;-)

Cheers.
