Electro-pump unit electric motor control fault: Short circuit to earth. Pump relay jammed open.

Symptoms:
  • Difficult/impossible to change a gear
  • Lack of power
  • Absence of automatic stopping of the internal combustion engine
Frequent causes
- Electric motor
- Electropump
- Fuse 30 A

Other possible causes
- Electrovalves
- Gearbox ECU
- Leak/kinking in the hydraulic piping
- 12-way connector of the gearbox ECU
- 12-way harness of the gearbox ECU

The 30A fuse mentioned is Fuse number F11 in the BFDB (Supply Control Unit).

thanks,will check fuse, but as i didnt lose everything doubt its that. something(relay) jammed open most likely, so dont think i will spend any money on it, will take off wheel arch liner and have a quick look at connections earths etc,if no joy hit the electroni electronic gear change with a hammer a couple of times , then give up and sell for scrap and buy a proper manual,

No joy wilth fuses, have no comms with gearbox ecu now, so to scrap (offers between £270 - £330 so far) or the long slow process of time wasters/breaking,
