I have a question. And yes i have searched. lol. I cant find a thread or anyone that is really running a fuel pump cutoff switch on there 1st gen. I have done it to a numerious rx7vs that I have owned. but im sure the relay is different. can anyone show a picture of one installed? thanks

 

sorry, no pic but the harness to the pump runs thru the floor under your driver side storage bin. The connector to the pump is right there (or it is on my SA anyway). I bought a 12v switch at radio shack, clipped one of the 2 wires (power is probably the better one to cut and run thru the switch??), ran it thru the switch (might need to lengthen it to reach the switch if you want the switch mounted) - and presto: fuel pump switch. I drilled a hole in the bin cover (metal part) and poked the switch thru so all i need to do is reach behind and flick it and the pump's off and it means the car is now somewhat theft proof...

Its easier just to take out the fuse from the fusebox next to your left leg.

 

My switch is in the center console where the stock speaker balance switch used to be. bought a walmart switch that fits in the hole and viola! Try to get a pic up later.. also cut the power to the pump and inserted my switch...

 

If you are going to run a switch, at least add a relay in. The switch will last longer and not leave you stranded.

The pump wires are under the drivers side bin, there is a rubber grommet where the wires exit out, along with the wire connector. One end is the body harness, the other is hardwired to the pump.

 

If you don't feel like going under the drivers side bin, pull off the fuse block, cut the wire going to the fuel pump fuse and wire the switch in there.

 

what color are these 2 wires?
