Which Relay Is This In The Boot Of My R32

[Birth]

Hi, I have an R32 GTS4. I have noticed for some time a clicking noise from the boot of my car. When I hear the clicking noise the volts in my car drop for a second. At idel the clicking happens every minute or so.

I have followed the noise to the boot and have found a relay just to the passenger side of the lock (monuted behind some of the grey trim between the lcok and the passenger side tail light).

What is this relay for? Can I get rid of it?

Thanks, Ben.

Fuel Pump relay, so no, you can't get rid of it.

BH SLO32; do you know what this relay does? Is it switching the fuel pump on and off or is it controlling high rpm vs. low rpm for on throttle vs. off throttle?

It is used by the computer to switch the fuel pump on and off. The coil side of the relay is earthed by the computer. It won't draw much current.

I took another look at this today. I noticed that there are two relays. I unplugged the relay on the passenger side of the car as this seemed to be the one doing the clicking. My fuel pump seems to be running ok and the goes was going normally though my 4WD has stopped working. I assume that one of the relays controls the fuel pump and the other one is something to do with the ATTESSA; what do you think this woudl be for?
