I ordered a pump-prime version, however, when I turn the key to 'on' before the cranking position, I do not hear the fuel pump run.
When I crank the car, it starts just like it always has.
Does the pump activate when the key is in the 'on' position? If so, how long does it run when there?
BTW, my car is a NA 96 manual.

The same relay is used for the oil cooler fan, the AC condenser fan, and the rear blower motor. I can't speak for everyone, but I have had to replace two out of the three. The slow speed contacts failed on them. If you make them, I would definitely buy two of them.

There is no logic in the circuitry, so it would be a fairly straight forward design. I will open a backlog project for this and try to get samples of the enclosure. Assuming I can get this project off the ground, would you be willing to test prototypes?

An update on progress:
Test units for the updated Solid-State Relays are going to be delayed about a week. There was a small issue with the updated 993 SSR that required new circuit boards. Also the main switching Componet for the "Extreme" SSR is no longer available due to the global chip shortage. This version, as well as the 944/968 Solid-State Fan Relay, is on indefinite hold until the part becomes available.

An Update on Progress:
Yesterday I sent out two test Solid-State Relays to everyone in the Beta test group, I expect both relays will function correctly in the 993. The first relay reverts the recent changes in the SSR design. The second relays is the updated "Rev 2" design that incorporates the intent of the minor changes and, in theory, fundamentally corrects this issue. If you did not receive an email and where expecting to be apart of Beta testing please send me a PM or email me directly at joe@ftech9.com.
