Hi John.

I don't know which problems youy ar efacing, but here are moe of my expeirnces with my 480 Turbo. Apparently the Fuel Pump Relay on this model also controls the A/C unit. The problem I came across was that the relay does not shut off when I turn the enigine off and takle the keys out, thus discharges the battery. Out of curiosity I opened the relay and discovered that it is a quite complex unit. Not only a relay. I noticed that the contacts on the relay's - and + were dark and that the plastic around them showed sign ofg high temperatures. I am waiting for a new relay, wherefore I cannot give you the result of mounting a new relay. Don't know if this helped you at all. If you know anyone who have encountered the same problems, please reply.
