1983 249 Turbo Fuel Pump relay getting hot. 200 1983

This problem can also cause the fuel pump fuse to overheat. If it is one of the later plastic bodied fuses, they can soften or even melt. When they soften the contact pressure at the ends reduces and makes them overheat even more. Go out of your way to get an original type ceramic fuse for at least this position in the fuse box. Plastic ones don't look much different but if you give both types a scrape with a sharp knife you'll be able to tell which is which. Beware, plastic ones are often labelled as ceramic. It is possible to swap the fuse link from a plastic to a ceramic body if you are careful.
