I can’t find the fuel pump relay on my vehicle listed above, Limited 5.7L Hemi. I have looked in the manual as well as the fuse box and I cannot find it. Please help.

The fuel pump relay on this vehicle is internal to the PDC and not a serviceable relay.

You can test the circuits like a normal relay, but the relay is inside the PDC.

Let us know what is going on with this one and if we can assist with what is needed as to the specific issue.

Thanks

When the car is cold and we try and turn it on, it cranks for about 5 seconds, or even longer and then it starts. The colder the engine is, the more it does it. It used to do it once in a while, now it’s every day.

This could be fuel related, so we need to start by checking the fuel pressure in order to confirm this.

This means we need to hook up a gauge and then check the pressure when it is doing the long crank.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Let me know what you find with this. Thanks
