Dual add-a-circuits to power / bypass fuel pump relay using rear 12v power outlet. Permanent solution after the Jump..

external fuel pump relay. Apparently this is a thing that happens when internal Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM) fuel pump relay goes bad. Instead of replacing the entire TIPM, add an additional relay which should have been accessible in the first place.

Just put that relay kit in a 2014 RAM 1500 here at work that had an intermittent TIPM fuel pump relay failure.. They’re cheap and pretty much universal.

I looked at the installation instructions and pretty sure I can do all that. What I don’t have is the expense crimping tool, but I’ll just use some regular ones. It’s getting heat shrink anyway.
