    I notice the fuse has been wired with mains cable , so I wonder if someone in the past used the fuse as a makeshift anti theft device . I'm a retired auto sparky , and believe me , I've seen it all .😃
  • @Bigchaser01327
    This video is good example of amature mechanic troubleshooting by components, obviously sponsored by Carly.
  • @Antonia.Bradley
    Hi, the fuse you showed connected to the mains cable with two blue spade connectors is an anti theft system installed by a previous owner I believe. I have something similar on my van. I believe you will find that the wire in question goes to the fuel pump control module located under the drivers seat. It should connect to the wire leading to the fuel pump from the fuel pump control module… Not to power to the module but from module to pump. I used a hidden switch on my van, but he obviously used a fuse. Why the fuse blew however is not known. But removing said fuse prevents the pump running and saves the van from being nicked. The fuel pump module is located in the seat base afixed to the right side wall. Good luck.
  • @LeisureBit
    Sorry to hear you needed recovering and had to spend on the pump unnecessarily- Looks like it may have been for some anti-theft system at some point at a guess. All the best, David 👍
  • @MakeDoAndMend1
    Ps Years ago before electronics in car we fitted immobilisers. Hidden switch 2 pole. One pole switched fuel gauge off. Second pole the fuel pump. So if they broke in and bypassed the ignition switch it wouldnt start and shown no fuel.in tank. George

    Brought a Carly device for my van. What a rip off. Almost impoosible to return, hidden terms and broke my van at a cost of £150 to put right....
  • @adamshaw1032
    Neil you have the patience of a saint. If I can’t fix my van in ten mins I want to set it on fire 😂 great find that fuse! Always an entertaining watch 👍🏻👍🏻
  • @ipirrie6734
    First thing you should have done before spending all that money is check 12v supply to the pump. Basic fault finding rather than changing parts willy nilly. That's what you'd pay a garage to do. ...lol
  • @welshieonwheels
    Great video 👍 sorry you got the run around, but I guess when you are going to drop the tank your figured well maybe I should get the part . Frustrating thanks for sharing,it will help others thank you well done 👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢

    On another Youtube (SR) repairer they mentioned vehicles that some Hire/Rental vehicles can have remote trackers and remote immobilisers fitted so the company can control the whereabouts their vehicle at anytime. The Youtuber took out what wiring he could find, so maybe this is the final wire the locks the electrics replaced with a fuse to complete the circuit.

  • Love how your dad still gets stuck in helping ❤ great video as usual and will defo look at the Carly as like Eva, Syna likes not to throw a code that even Supposed , QUALIFIED mechanics can't solve. Thanks for the the part for Syna by the way Isaac was very grateful. Not bad for an "amateur" mechanic helping diagnose our problem thanks buddy ❤
  • @MrBotwood
    You definitely make some of the most thought-provoking and greatly appreciated informative videos! So sad for your extra cost, but like you said, it had to be done sooner or later. Great job! (I knew if anyone could, you could definitely figure it out!)
  • Got to find out why it blew or the next time it could short out and run and get the fire brigade
  • @Vantastic-times
    I feel your pain Neil me an the wife had to change our fuel sender in our Renault, but couldn't get the tank out from under the van and had to do the dam job under the van ,,glad to see you got it all sorted ,,,,, hopefully we catch up with you and have a beer at some point 🍺
  • @UKvet246
    Fuel cut off switch removed and bridged using a fuse
  • @johneaston1215
    Looks like someone has had problems with immobiliser,and it's disabled fuel pump,and why did the fuse blow,??
  • @jonathanryall355
    There a good chance that even thoug the old pump still works that’s there might well be an issue with it. The fact the fuse blew sagest that quit possibly it’s drawing more current than it should do
