I'm looking for a little box that's made for exactly this purpose: to hold an automotive relay and a bigger automotive fuse, all in this one little box that's with a cover. I wouldn't mind if there are few spaces for few relays and fuses. Is the description of what I'm looking for clear enough? Something I could mount under the hood and have a pretty clean fuel pump rewire job. Anyone?

The fuse for the rewire should be under the hood by the battery, the relay should be right near the fuel pump.

I didn't ask how it "should be". I asked whether anyone knows where I can find what I'm looking for.

I need a fuse/relay block, that holds the fuse AND the relay in the same block--for a clean install.

Please post ONLY if you know specifically where I can get such a fuse/relay block/fusible link block. I don't care to hear any criticizm about my plan.
 
Not trying to criticize your plan but if it's a clean install you are going for, you would have to run quite a bit more wire if trying to place the relay underhood. It's hard to make a bunch of extra wires look nice.

How would I have to run "quite a bit more wire" if I place the relay with fuse under the hood??? :confused: If I get a block/box with fuse AND relay holder/sockets in one... DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN IT??? :confused:

People, PLEASE STOP GIVING ME "ADVICE" AND STOP CRITICIZING.

PLEASE, SOMEONE JUST TELL ME WHERE I CAN GET SUCH A CONTRAPTION. I found similar fuse-and-relay-in-one blocks online, but I can't find a more compact solution.
 
If you want to contain the new fuel pump relay and the fuse for that relay in a case, for moisture protection and vibration proofing. Where ever you want to mount/put it.

I got your solution. By the way...its super cheap.

:confused: Factory fuse/relay box under hood? My 1g doesn't have spare spaces--2g cars do.
 
I thought about this before and came up with a solution. I have yet to do this but it could be done for pennies over the price of rewiring your fuel pump.

I really need to get around to rewiring the pump in the first place, I just realized., that is a difference between my 95' GSX and my 98'. I forgot I had rewired my pump on my 95'.

Anyways back to how to do this:

You can get a "project box" at Radio Shack that can contain both the Relay for the fuel pump and the Fuse for the feed wire.

Project boxes in the size 4"x2"x1" for around $3.00 are available at Radio Shack.

Their even called "project boxes".

solution. Put it anywhere any length of wire will allow.
