Ran my Cobra 3 weeks ago car was running fine, went to start it today and noticed my pumps weren't running? Needles to say car wont start. I checked the stock fuses all were good.

I have the Fore system with level 4 pumps, FC2 controller, are there any fuses between the battery and FC controller that may prevent the pumps from running?

Any advise on what to check? The system is 3 years old with very low miles.

Hopefully the bipolar weather will be better tomorrow so i can trace this wiring and figure out why my pumps stop running?

Any advice will be appreciated?

Typically yes, there will be a fuse there.

First thing I’d check is the inertia switch.

But a simple check would be to see if there is power to the FC2.

I didn’t use the FC2 and just wired two separate relays in but it should have a key on power wire. Check that first.

You should then have two positive wires leaving it for the pumps.

Just work top to bottom.

Post a pic of the controller and FPDM.

I went through this on my car. Ended up being the 12v positive wire to the pumps was broken in the insulation.

Thanks to all who chimed in with advice really appreciate it, I traced the wiring went through all the fuses and inertia switch. No issues or blown fuses.

The problem was a disconnected pwr. wire at pump 1 on the FC2 controller and a loose ground wire.

The car fired up and is running fine, couldn't get a good pic of the FC2 controller its tucked on the side of the inertia switch and i didn't want to take it apart.

thanks guys
