Anyone got a circuit diagram for the fuel pump fuse - just to close the loop ? The 5th pin, the small one is the oddity.

Well I did say to bypass the fuel pump relay entirely. But you are right that you would not have know what was at fault on the relay unless you opened it.

Wow, that tab. It just looks like porsche decided you couldn't use a standard 30 amp bosch relay which i am certain is identical inside. Their solution is to change one tab to a smaller one and turn one 90deg.

If you have a soldering iron, you could open it up and re-solder the joints.
