i need help ive looked up in the manual the ASD and the fuel pump relay and my manual says its in the relay box in the engine compartment. i cant find it anywhere. i was driving down the road and my ran shut of everything. ive replaced the fuel pump and tried another computer and checked for spark but there is no voltage going to the ignition. and nothing to the injectors. ansd i cant fibnd where the ASD and the fuel pump relays are so i can check them.

 

first thing people are going to want to know is what year and model you have.

 

He has a " 1994 b350 ram van" via his member profile.

ASD= Auto shut down, it is one of those 2 that on the firewall next to the brake booster, I'm not sure which one it is, someone here can help with that. It costs about $18.00USD at dealer. The dealer part tends to hold up better than most of the aftermarket types. I'm not a dealer parts pusher, but when this relay goes bad, it's not a bad price for the quality of the part.


Good luck.

 

Yes, it's one of thosetwo on the firewall near to the brake booster. The one next to it is the fuel pump relay.

 

i though i put it in the title 94 ram van b350

 

thanks for the help guys. i was wondering if all the relays next to the brake booster is the same part? so i could buy it and plug it into the different ones until it works.

 

Yes if the number of contacts and their configuration on the bottom are the same.

 

cool i think there is only three one for the starter and fuel pump and ASD ill try it

 

Yes you did.

 

The two relays for fuel control are the same, the starter relay is slightly different. If the fuel relays are in question it's easy and cheap to replace them both. They are usually black and located on the same bracket below the battery on the firewall.

The metal cover on the starter relay can be removed if you are careful in order to clean the contacts. After cleaning spray a little brake-kleen on the contacts and let it dry thoroughly. Use a little silicone on the mating surface of the cover to the relay housing and bend the tabs back to make a moisture proof seal.

An SMEC (engine computer) that is faulty, or going bad, can make the fuel relays "act up" even though they may be working perfectly.
