Urgent Help VS V8 Ute

[hako]

Check the wiring diagram at Dr Bobs site:http://www.memcals.com/pdf/VSV8 Auto Series 3.Wiring Diagram.pdf
and look at the oil pressure switch and how it powers the fuel pump. Also read about this switch at Brother Bobs site (no relation to Dr Bob) Electric Fuel Pump Relay Failure

Hope you can get some progress - very frustrating being so far away. Good Luck.

I know how you feel -

Did he wet the fuse box, blown fuel pump relay or fuse, also did he wet near the air box maybe he flooded it and its sucking in a heap of water? long shot.
I bet he will never wash another engine again, even if you explain to cover all electrics in plastic bags and WD-40etc..

OK, my eldset son went over the help his brother, they unplugged the oil pressure switch, gave it a clean and plugged it back in and the car runs. They have bought a new pressure switch and will replace it tomorrow,just in case. I told them to spray some contact cleaner into the socket of the plug top and push in on and off the switch terminals a few times to help make a good connection, so fingers crossed.
