Hi all,

Not sure I put all the wwiring back right. Now when I open the door, the contact seems to come on and the fuel pump starts running. When I close the door and all shuts off. What's going on?

Thanks for the help !

Your float in the Brake reservoir has a pin hole in it and has sunk to the bottom or partially sink allowing a brake warning light to come on and also the fuel pump to work when the door is opened. Its a quirk of the Pagoda.

Oh! My brake circuit is still empty. I guess that if I disconnect the floats for time being things will come back to normal. Thanks for the help !
