Return policy
Money back guarantee on select parts if your problem is not resolved
If your vehicle fails to start (acts likes it's out of gas) and/or your fuel pump continues pumping after turning the vehicle off (draining your battery), you likely have a faulty fuel pump relay. Fuel pump relays are soldered to one of six circuit boards located deep inside your fuse box (TIPM), so they are very difficult to access and change. Our TIPM Plug-In Relay System Lite is a long-term solution designed from the ground up by our engineering team to resolve fuel pump relay issues. Please visit our Symptoms of Fuel Pump Relay Issues page for further information.
30 Day Return Policy
Money back guarantee (return for a full refund, less shipping, within 30 days of receipt if you're not satisfied or it does not solve your problem). We are not like your local dealer where parts that don't solve your issue can't be returned. If you find that our part doesn't solve your issue or your problem is outside the TIPM, simply send it back for a refund.

Description
Designed around a printed circuit board with four terminals (male pins), this system plugs into any TIPM-7 fuse box to test and bypass a faulty fuel pump relay using available current from your existing K4 relay. There is no need to cut harness wires, remove the TIPM, visit your dealer, or reprogram the TIPM. The following electrical connections to the vehicle's fuse slots are used: Run/start signal (M37), fuel pump relay output (M25 far side), and power output to the fuel pump (M25 near side). Installation requires no special skills and can be accomplished in 5 minutes with no vehicle downtime. Once the system is installed (positioned over your existing fuses), your vehicle’s fuel pump will receive power with full remote start capabilities and no limitations. The following diagram explains how the TIPM Plug-In Relay System works.

Instruction Manual
A printed color copy of the instructions is included with each order. Download the instructions for this part using the "Instructions" tab near the top of this page.
Notes
If you have a 2011-2013 Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee that had an external relay installed per the recall, this cable will be ineffective because your dealer cut wires under your TIPM. Read more here regarding how to identify an external fuel relay.
This part won't solve problems that are unrelated to your fuel pump (ie. windshield wipers, starter, lights, etc.).
If your vehicle won't turn over and the starter will not even attempt to turn the flywheel with a properly charged battery, you likely have other issues that this part cannot solve. See this link for problems unrelated to fuel pump relays.
Must be used with a TIPM-7 series fuse box. See our applicable vehicle chart above to confirm if this part will fit. It's normal to have mini-blade and cartridge fuses in different locations on this style TIPM, depending on your vehicle options and model.
Installation Video (Customer Supplied)
Installation Instructions
Turn vehicle off and locate your TIPM.
Using the mini-blade/cartridge fuse removal tool located near the top of your TIPM, remove mini-blade fuses M25 and M37. For reference, a fuse diagram is also located under your TIPM lid. Transfer your M25 and M37 fuses to the corresponding fuse slots in the circuit board.
Insert the circuit board into your TIPM so the four male terminals fit into the M25 and M37 fuse slots at the same time. If required, lift the white J13 fuse bezel approximately 1/4". J13 is your Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse, which is normally used to prevent battery drainage when the vehicle is not driven for many weeks. Be sure to push the J13 white bezel down after the circuit board is installed.
Close and then open the TIPM lid to ensure the circuit board is fully seated. See below to view the installed circuit board. Installation is now complete.
How To Bypass a Faulty Fuel Pump Relay
Once the installation is complete, your TIPM Plug-In Relay System Lite is ready to operate in bypass mode. No additional setup or wiring is required. Use this arrangement for normal driving to bypass a faulty fuel pump relay inside your TIPM that will not power the fuel pump or one that powers the fuel pump when the vehicle is off. Bypass mode uses the vehicle's run/start +12 VDC source at the M37 fuse terminal to provide power to the fuel pump via the M25 fuse slot. To view the onboard LEDs, proceed to the next paragraph for details on connecting the included jumper wire.
Testing Your Vehicle Using LED Feedback (Optional)
Connect the included jumper wire between the circuit board’s ground connection (GND-TP1) and your vehicle’s chassis ground or battery negative terminal. Chassis ground is defined as any conductive connection on the vehicle’s metal frame.
Start your vehicle and observe the LEDs in the lower right corner of the system.
The RUN/START green LED illuminates when a +12 VDC run/start signal is present at the M37 fuse, indicating the engine is attempting to start or running.
The ORIG RELAY green LED illuminates when a +12 VDC signal supplied via the original fuel pump relay inside your TIPM is detected. If the original fuel pump relay +12 VDC signal is intermittent or not present, this is an indication that the relay is faulty.
The PUMP ON green LED illuminates when power is sent to the fuel pump via the M25 20 amp fuse. If your vehicle will not start while this LED is illuminated, you may have a fuel pump or other problem.
Disconnect the included jumper wire while driving.

How to Properly Test a Fuel Pump Relay (TIPM-7 Fuse Box)
Product Details
TIPM7-PCB3-LITE
TIPM7-PCB-LITE
1) When should the included jumper wire be connected to view the LEDs?
Answer: Only during testing while the vehicle is not in motion. LEDs are not needed for the normal bypass operation of the part, so they're optionally used for diagnostics and testing when you first install the part
2) The fuel pump relay inside my TIPM is faulty and stuck in the on position (draining my battery). Will this part resolve my issue?
Answer: Yes. Our system will completely disconnect a faulty fuel pump relay from the fuel pump circuit. The only electrical connection to your original faulty fuel pump relay is to the center green LED on our part (for testing purposes).
3) After installation, a "NO FUSE" light is illuminated on my instrument panel. How can I make it go away?
Answer: Simply push down on the white bezel surrounding your J13 fuse. This fuse is sometimes lifted up during the installation of the TIPM Plug-In Relay System Lite and it must be pushed down when complete.
4) Will my remote start and safety mechanisms be affected by this device?
Answer: Users will maintain full functionality of their remote start. Cold weather or low temperatures will not affect this system. Please visit our Safety page for details on how this part works during a crash.
5) How does the TIPM Plug-In Relay System Lite work?
Answer: Your K4 Omron relay (run/start signal) is capable of 35 amps and has the capability to add an additional 6-9 amps for the fuel pump. Our system leverages power from the location where the K4 relay provides battery power to the M37 circuit, which mimics the OEM starting and running cycle. With our system, your original faulty fuel pump relay inside the TIPM is completely disconnected from the fuel pump circuit and it can only illuminate the ORIG RELAY green LED (for testing purposes).
6) My car still won't start after installing the system. What should I check?
Visually check fuses M25 and M37 that were transferred from your TIPM to the TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (Lite) to ensure they're not blown.
Check your fuel pump to confirm it is working. Cycle your key or start button to the RUN position, without your foot on the brake, and you should be able to hear an electric motor sound if listening near the rear of the vehicle. Most fuel pumps are located inside the fuel tank.
Verify that you see the RUN/START and PUMP ON green LEDs during the engine cranking process and while idling. The most important thing to remember is that illumination of the PUMP ON green LED is the ultimate goal in delivering +12 VDC power to your fuel pump. If this LED is illuminated, the TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (Lite) is working properly and the problem is likely elsewhere within your vehicle.
Make sure you have gas in the vehicle and your fuel gauge is working properly.
If someone inserted a fuse tap, temporary wire, or other bypass device in your M25/M37 fuse slots, the fuse box terminals might be too wide to properly grab our part. You can test for this by inserting a fuse into the affected slot. If the fuse feels loose, tighten the fuse box terminals. See our Fuse Slot Hot Spots page.
Make sure you do not have an external relay installed. If so, change the external relay. If you permitted your dealer to cut harness wires under the TIPM, our TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (Lite) will not work properly. This mostly affects 2011-2013 Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles.
Check/replace your camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors and perform a fuel pump pressure test.
If your vehicle routinely requires 4-6 seconds to start after sitting for long periods of time, you may have a faulty fuel pump check valve. This check valve maintains the fuel pressure in the lines between the fuel pump and your engine. This video explains more.
There are dozens of things that can prevent a vehicle from starting, which our TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (Lite) was not designed to solve. If you turn your key and nothing happens, you do not have a fuel pump relay issue and should focus on the starter, starter relay, or battery connections.
7) My remote start isn't working or the vehicle shuts down after a few seconds when using remote start. What causes this?
Answer: Our TIPM Plug-In Relay Systems work perfectly with remote start and we often find that these types of problems are the result of the vehicle disabling remote start capabilities before or after the starting process. Most vehicles will disable remote start if all of the following conditions are not met:
Check engine light not illuminated
Shift lever in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
HAZARD switch off
BRAKE switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)
Ignition key removed from ignition switch
Battery at an acceptable charge level
Remote keyless entry PANIC button not pressed
Fuel meets minimum requirement
The engine can be started two consecutive times (two 15-minute cycles) with the remote keyless entry transmitter. However, the ignition switch must be cycled to the ON/RUN position before you can repeat the start sequence for a third cycle. With a TIPM Plug-In Relay System in place, remote start problems are normally attributable to one or more of the items listed above if you can start your vehicle with a key or pushbutton, but not with the keyfob.
8) The bottom plastic cover or other parts have melted after driving. What causes this?
Answer: Your M25 or M37 fuse slot was likely damaged prior to installing our part. We've seen this before in situations where customers or prior owners of the vehicle have inserted fuse taps or widened the fuse terminals in their TIPM due to repeated use/insertion/removal/testing. Widened fuse terminals inside your TIPM can create a temperature hot spot due the terminals of our part or a fuse not being able to make enough surface area contact. The 9 amps flowing to your fuel pump requires that your TIPM terminals be tight, pushed together, and secure. The solution is to remove all fuses/relays and the top of your TIPM, remove the top portion of your TIPM, then crimp the terminals back together with a pair of pliers. Reaching the terminals without removing the top portion of your TIPM is extremely difficult.
9) How can I test the onboard LEDs to ensure they're working?
Answer: Using a 9 VDC battery, connect it to the part as shown below. If you touch the bottom terminals on the part to the + end of the battery, all three lights can be tested.
10) My vehicle and/or my fuel pump remains running when the vehicle is off. What's going on?
Answer: Unfortunately, you have another failed part in your vehicle that is backfeeding the K4 run/start relay, as well as the M33, M16, M15, and M37 fuse slots. This is abnormal. The unknown failed part is also backfeeding our part, keeping the pump on when the vehicle is off and the run/start circuit energized. You should NOT have any power on the M33, M16, M15, or M37 circuits when the vehicle is off (basically anything downstream of the K4 relay shown in the image below). To check which circuit is at fault, remove ALL FOUR fuses shown below and check the voltage on both sides of the empty fuse terminal. If you measure anything other than 0 VDC, something on that circuit is backfeeding our part and causing your fuel pump to remain on (abnormal).
NOTE: We are constantly fighting against Chinese counterfeit parts that are sold on Ebay and/or Amazon without instructions or support. If you bought a counterfeit and are here to download our instructions, please be aware they ALL contain only 1/3 the necessary copper thickness on the circuit board and they will fail. You get what you pay for, as they say.
