Good luck!
That's a for sure possibility. I hear it humming which indicates it is on, but apparently it isn't doing anything. And I'll definitely look into it when I finally get it open. Thanks.

Well there's an interesting suggestion that I hadn't heard of. I'll check that one out. Thanks.

Cig 1988,

Would you happen to have a pic of how your Bullet has wired in jumper posts to the + and - lead mounted on the fiberglass tunnel between the bulkhead and switches? That sounds like a great upgrade!

Thanks

John you can use a jump box or charger and go directly to the pump the blue is up and green is down. Just hook up the the positive and negative with box or charger and make you a little jumper wire and its up. Been there before.

I'll try to get one this weekend. Evidently the former owner may have had the same problem as John. The post's are on each side with a plastic cap protecting the inevitable.

Not yet....it was rainy and nasty here yesterday, so will try today. If no luck will take a pic of my unit and post then. Thanks again to all who have commented. That's what makes this such a great site.

Haven't gotten down to try again as yet. Were you able to take any pics to clarify things for me? Thanks for your help. John

Just take a jump box or good battery and run a wire from it directly to the hatch switch behind the dash. I did it several times on my Pantera.
