My fuel pump died the other day, I kinda saw it coming because it started making that nice whiney sick cat sound. So she gets a brand new pump and a new filter and I'm back on the road.
I seem to have this problem where I'll have things fixed, get the car back from the mechanic, it will work for a few days and then the problem comes up again. This happened with my starter and my rad, and now it's happened with the fuel pump again.
The thing worked fine for the rest of the day, it started perfectly about 4 times that day, but when I went to start it up the next morning, the pump was dead again.
So my question is, what do you guys think could have caused this? Me and my dad were thinking it was either the fuel pump cut-off switch or the fuse, seeing as it just got a brand new pump. Problem is, I can't find the cut-off switch to check it. I poked around through that hole in the back of the hatch and couldn't find the button. I can't find the fuse either, owner's manual says it's right by the starter relay on the fender, but I don't see it. Am I just blind or am I missing something? Or do you think I should just take it back to the shop and make them deal with it, seeing as they just fixed this problem like two days ago?
