Where is the fuel pump relay located in the BYD F3?

The fuel pump relay of the BYD F3 is located above the wiring harness assembly, not inside the fuse box. The wiring harness assembly is positioned below the left side of the vehicle's steering wheel. Here are some relevant details: 1. A relay is an automated electrical switch that operates based on electromagnetic induction. The fuel pump circuit is generally equipped with an oil pressure relay. 2. The fuel pump relay serves to amplify and adjust the opening and closing of the fuel pump as needed. The amplification function means that a small current can control a high-power circuit, expanding the control range. When the signal reaches a certain value, it can switch, disconnect, or connect multiple circuits simultaneously based on different contact group configurations, achieving the purpose of automatic switching. Another function is to adjust the opening and closing of the fuel pump in real-time to ensure the engine operates normally.
When I used to drive a BYD F3, I encountered a fuel pump issue. The relay location was in the fuse box in the engine compartment. You open the hood, and usually on the right side, you can find that black plastic box containing several relays. The one for the fuel pump is labeled 'FUEL PUMP' or something similar, easily recognizable at a glance. Back then, I found the relay had poor contact, so I pulled it out, cleaned the pins, and it worked fine. If the label is unclear, you can check the user manual, which has specific diagrams. The relay is responsible for supplying power to the fuel pump. If it fails, the car can stall directly, which is quite dangerous. It's advisable to disconnect the battery's negative terminal before working on it and wear gloves to prevent electric shock. If unsure, consult a nearby auto repair shop.
