Fuel pump hop
chrisf - 21/6/06 at 05:09 PM

I wired up day time running lights on my car--wired directly to the ignition-side fuseblock. I need to wire the rear tailights. Does anyone see an issue with the fuel pump and the rear tailights using the same feed?

--Thanks, Chris

You could try it but the rear lights may flicker due to the pulses of the pump.

They did on mine when I needed to by-pass the immobiliser.

Clive:

Thanks for the reply. I'm just using a little carbed bike fuel pump. Do they draw enough current to make the lights flicker? My tailights are only two bulbs...
