Greetings,
I have a 2005 LR3 HSE. Over the last year or two, everything seems to be breaking on it. Exterior door trim pieces are falling off, alternator went out, sun roof drain tube is now leaking into the passenger compartment and shorted out the key fob, suspension compressor is about to give out, and NOW I am pretty sure the fuel pump just went out.
It has plenty of cranking power and and tries to start, but doesn't seem to be getting fuel. There is 1/4 tank in it currently. When it first went out, it would start for about two seconds and then die. It did this several times, and now won't crank over at all. I figured it started initially because there were gas fumes in the line, but those are gone now.
I checked all the fuel related fuses, and am getting ready to run a check on the relay. I can't seem to find the fuel pressure check valve in the engine compartment to see if it squirts fuel. I also can't find a diagram of where to access the fuel pump, and I don't want to completely strip the interior to get to it if I don;t have to. Based on what I saw underneath the car, it looks like the tank sits under the passenger side, and I think I would only need to pull the carpet back on that side to access the pump from the top (i have no way of dropping the tank). I figure I will also have to remove the seats on the passenger side as well to get at it... is this correct?
I was also wondering since the sunroof drain has corroded the key fob relay that sits in the wiring harness that runs along the bottom of the passenger side perhaps the water also screwed something up with the power running to the pump as I would assume the wiring to the pump runs along that same track?
I am a bit of a novice when it comes to these things, so any advice would be appreciated. If anyone can point me towards an LR3 specific tutorial, that would be amazing.
Update: I managed to fold the middle seat forward and pull the carpet back a bit to reveal some padded sticker things. Could the fuel pump be under them?
