Another Brant Thread

[bryno]

The fuel pump relay immobilisation circuit can be bypassed, which sounds like it'd fix the issue. If you're any good at soldering you could also try resoldering any broken/dry joints on the brant control module pcb.

Fuel pump cut point is under the passenger floor where the ecu sits, easy to bypass and get you driving untill it's fixed Properly

I really don't wanna hear all this.
I have a brandt in my 2004 and still works ok..good luck with fixing your problem.

All brant systems will shit them selves eventually, if you haven't had problems since 2004 then your doing pretty well

To be honest, it was just a quick call to suss out what it was going to cost roughly. I think it must have been for the module and included labour, but I think I'd just rather replace with a system I wont have to worry about. Could you imagine spending the dollars for it to happen a few years down the track.....

Yeah, sounds like either this or the actual fuel pump. Though given Brant's history, I'll start with that.

I didn't have any problems until now, and I think its the heat that is affecting it. I am sure there are plenty of people that have not experienced any issues and get pissed off at everyone bagging out Brant. 2004, thats not a bad run considering.

At the end of the day, everything wears out. I'd rather just use the $$ wisely.
