The patented 6th generation TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (ASD) is our "top of the line" long-term solution for faulty fuel pump relays on many 2007-2020 Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and VW vehicles (see our complete vehicle list below). Some of our customers have driven 100,000+ miles with this part installed. With four onboard diagnostic LEDs, it can bypass a faulty fuel pump relay to continue driving normally, test your fuel pump when the vehicle is off, test your fuel pump relay, and indicate when power is provided to your fuel pump. For safety, it accomodates the Automatic Shut Down (ASD) feature in your vehicle to remove power to the fuel pump during a crash when the engine stops. This part only takes 5 minutes to install and does not require you to remove your TIPM or the complex wiring harness connectors underneath it. It also comes with a 60 day return policy for a full refund on the part, so there is no risk if you discover your fuel pump relay is not the problem. This part is hand soldered and machine assembled in Maryland (USA) and is ONLY sold here.
IMPORTANT: This product will not resolve a faulty fuel pump relay problem if an external fuel pump relay is already installed. Click here to verify.

Our TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (ASD) is our most advanced long-term solution to resolve fuel pump relay issues. Positioned above your existing fuses, this part has it's own onboard relay (MOSFET) to turn power on/off to your fuel pump. 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. Please visit our Symptoms of Fuel Pump Relay Issues page for further information.
Money back guarantee (return for a full refund, less shipping, within 60 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.
This part will only fit the following vehicles which contain a TIPM-7 fuse box shown to the right:
The most common vehicles include the 2011-2013 Dodge Caravan, 2011-2013 Chrysler Town & Country, 2011-2012 Dodge Ram, and 2011-2012 VW Routan. Vehicles with the same style fuse box as shown on this page will work. It's normal to have fuses and relays in different locations on this style TIPM, depending on your vehicle options and model.
Designed around a printed circuit board with six terminals (male pins), this advanced system plugs into any TIPM-7 fuse box to test and bypass a faulty fuel pump relay using Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). 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: +12 VDC power (M30), run/start signal (M37), fuel pump relay output (M25 far side), power output to the fuel pump (M25 near side), and ASD ground. Installation requires no special skills and can be accomplished in 5 minutes with no vehicle downtime. Once the system is installed (positioned over top of your existing fuses), your vehicle’s fuel pump will receive power with full remote start capabilities and no limitations.

Two years parts and labor warranty. We'll also pay to ship the part both ways for any warranty claims. This warranty excludes damage due to water ingress, electrostatic discharge (ESD), reverse polarity battery connections, and physical damage due to product mishandling such as drops onto a hard surface.
This part will turn off power to your fuel pump after a crash when the engine stops rotating. This is accomplished through a ground connection to the Automatic Shutdown (ASD) relay. Please see our Safety page for details.
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.

The circuit board contains four LEDs that provide feedback to the user. These LEDs draw very little current, and will not be illuminated when the vehicle is off.

Location of the fuel pump relay soldered to one of six circuit boards inside a TIPM-7 series fuse box |

1) After installation, a "NO FUSE" light is illuminated on my instrument panel. Can it be fixed?
Answer: Yes. Simply push down on your J13 fuse (with white bezel). This fuse is sometimes lifted up during the installation of the part and it must be pushed down when complete. J13 is your Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse that is normally lifted up to prevent battery drainage during long periods of time where the vehicle is not used (ie. while at the airport during long vacations). Push it down all the way and all should be fine.

2) When I turn my car off, no LEDs are lit. Is this a problem?
Answer: It's completely normal. As you cycle your key to the ACC position, you'll see the ASD LED illuminate for two seconds. In the ON/RUN position, no lights will illuminate. During engine starting or while running, you'll see the RUN/START, ASD, and PUMP ON green LEDs illuminate under normal conditions. The ORIG RELAY LED will only illuminate while starting or running if your OEM fuel pump relay is working at that moment in time.
3) The fuel pump relay inside my TIPM is faulty and stuck in the on position (draining my battery). When I install the TIPM Plug-In Relay System™ (ASD), will this present a problem?
Answer: Not at all. Our system is designed to completely disconnect a faulty fuel pump relay from the fuel pump circuit. With our part, your old faulty relay is not connected to the fuel pump in any way. Our part was designed to resolve situations where fuel pump relays remain stuck in the on position or when they fail to allow power to reach the fuel pump.
4) My car still won't start after installing your system. What should I check?
5) 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:
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 our TIPM Plug-In Relay Systems™ 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.
6) When I turn the key or push the starter button, nothing happens. Sometimes my vehicle stalls while driving and I lose all power. Is this part at fault?
Answer: No. When a vehicle has no power or starter activity, then it's normally an electrical issue elsewhere in the vehicle. Our part simply delivers power to the fuel pump and does not affect the starter's ability to rotate the engine via the flywheel or deliver power to the entire vehicle. We might suggest the following:
7) 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. This part will turn off power to your fuel pump during a crash when the engine stops rotating. Please visit our Safety page for details.
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.
